The Space:
Enter the carriage house through the manor’s private entrance on Drayton Street. Also enjoy entrances located in a shared courtyard filled with greenery, washed brick, and an elegant fountain. Enter using your door code and step directly into the quaint living space featuring a small sofa, an original wood-burning fireplace, and beautiful built-in bookshelves.
Directly connected to the living room is a fully custom kitchen featuring floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, granite countertops, and a peninsula island set for two. The kitchen provides you with all the essentials you need to cook, including pots, pans, cooking utensils, and more. A coffee maker, microwave, toaster, and blender ensure you have everything you need.
Connected to the living space by beautiful French doors is the primary bedroom. This smaller room is incredibly cozy, providing a brand-new queen mattress with fresh linens accentuated by natural light pouring in through three large windows. Built-in cabinets, a closet, and a nightstand provide ample storage space for extended stays.
Atop the staircase is the unit's single bathroom featuring a shower/tub combination with a single vanity and toilet. The bathroom provides all essentials, including towels, toilet paper, shampoo, body wash, and a hair dryer.
Travel down the staircase to the street-level floor of the carriage house, where you will find an oversized pull-out sofa and a large smart TV ready to stream popular services. The couch pulls out into a comfortable full mattress, and we provide extra linens for the bed. Enjoy a private entrance that leads out to the manor’s courtyard.

Residing just one city block north of Forsyth park, you can take full advantage of peaceful morning walks through one of Savannah’s staple destinations. Enjoy the greenspaces of Monterey Square and Calhoun Square, all just minutes from your doorstep.
With a stay at the manor, you have ample choices for dining and entertainment. Grab a casual meal at the trendy Collins quarter at Forsyth or enjoy some fine southern dining at 700 Drayton Restaurant. Looking for that downhome restaurant with all of the southern hospitality you desire? Stop into Mrs. Wilke's Dining Room just northwest of the home.
History abounds throughout Savannah, and the local neighborhood is no exception. Stop off at the Massie Heritage Center, providing unique exhibits about Savannah designed for kids. Stroll by The Armstrong Mansion, or dive into Savannah’s spooky pass by stopping into the Mercer-Williams House Museum.

Getting Around:
There is a FREE City "trolley" shuttle called the DOT that picks up only half a block from your door on Drayton St. This will take you all around the Historic District and stops near plenty of attractions. Additionally, there is The Downtowner which is a City-ran "uber" just download the app and they will pick you up for free! Aside from that, we recommend using Uber/Lyft to get where you need. If you find free parking near the apartment, stay there! You can walk to just about anything in the City! :)
Other Things to Note:
This is the apartment above the garage, or "Carriage House" that's connected to 2 other units via the courtyard. This is the only shared space on the property. It's up to guests if they want to use that space or not. We recommend using the Park Savannah app to pay the City meters. The meter numbers are typically by your rear left tire by the white line, and you can plug that into the app and pay hourly.
