Comfortable Escape in Historic Downtown Savannah

Pleasant
Traveller Type: family with young children
  : location is great, place was spacious and management was attentive when we asked for intervention.
  : construction happening, 4 of 5 days of our stay in the unit above all hours of day and one night until 10pm. including some strong floor varnish fumes coming into our unit. No screens on windows so unable to leave open to air put. unit was musty smelling.

  : Located on the very edge of the historic district - not too bad if you like walking - and around the corner from a large supermarket and just 40 metres from an artisan bakery, its location was fine. Front porch with rocking chairs was fun to sit at and read/relax (although we were unlucky as the house opposite was being renovated so there was a lot of noise one evening up until 6:30pm - which is way, way beyond G&T time)! Kitchen very well equipped except no baking trays for the oven which the owner says he will rectify.
  : The back of the property is a no-go area. It boasts ‘manicured lawns’ but it is actually a weed-strewn mess with A/C units blasting out hot air. No one would dream of sitting there. Also I am genuinely concerned about all sorts of properties which use numeric codes for entry either directly (as in this case) or in little lock boxes to get the keys to enter. Once someone has hired a property and been told the code, what is to stop them a few months/weeks/days later from accessing the building when someone else is in residence? Do owners not have a duty to change the code after each booking? Should they, for reassurance tell bookers that the entry code is unique for them? No idea if this applies to this property in particular but as a general comment I hope landlords will take note because renters feel vulnerable on this score.
