About this apartment rental
228 E. Factor’s Walk is a spacious, luxurious, one-of-a-kind loft apartment located in the Paxton Building in Savannah’s historic Factor’s Walk overlooking River Street, and the Savannah River.
Factor’s Walk is one of the most important historical areas of Savannah. The lower two floors were constructed in 1817 to house cotton coming into port. In 1853, three more floors were added. The third floor that houses our Loft was used for additional cotton storage and the two upper floors for offices. “Factor” was the name given to men who estimated the amount of cotton in a shipment. They calculated or “factored” the amount of cotton and its worth.
The exterior walls, massive doors and balcony have been pain-stakenly preserved and restored at 228 E. Factor’s Walk to maintain the historic integrity of the original building. The Loft features the original interior walls of exposed brick and stone. The stone was used as ballast in ships that sailed to Savannah from England, and upon reaching port, used to construct the cobblestone streets of Savannah and walls in Factor’s Walk such as ours. Inside, the original perimeter walls of exposed brick and ballast stone blend with with the modern sophistication of our curved hallway, pocket doors and bamboo flooring. Architectural features, including a granite bedroom wall, onyx tile bath and stainless and granite kitchen make every room special. The Loft features original artwork by some of the South’s top artists, along with ancient Asian artifacts and antique European accessories.
Our 1,500 sq. ft. two bedroom, two bath loft with a fully furnished kitchen is the only residential property overlooking River Street and the Savannah River that features both an original “stoop” and a ten foot balcony off the master bedroom overlooking the Savannah River.
The master bedroom features a king-size bed, balcony overlooking the Savannah River, and a luxurious full bath with Jacuzzi tub and shower. The second bedroom is furnished with a full-size bed and has a full bath with shower.
Our fully equipped kitchen features Thermador and Bosch kitchen appliances for eating in, or you can just step out the door and walk to some of Savannah’s finest restaurants including the Boar’s Head Grill and Tavern, The Ole Pink House, Garibaldi’s, and many more.
For our guests convenience, our Loft features wireless Internet throughout.
228 E. Factor’s Walk Loft offers wonderful views of the Savannah River as well as the convenience of location in the heart of the City.
Savannah is home to a myriad of historical and cultural attractions, terrific tours, the best in Southern Cuisine, as well as shopping and numerous festivals scheduled throughout the year.
Take advantage of our one of a kind balcony/stoop with patio seating for four people to view the river, enjoy al fresco dining, or just people watch.
Parking is available in metered spaces on Bay St. There are also public lots and decks nearby. But once you park your car, you can walk to everything Savannah has to offer! Our goal is to provide our guests with the ultimate accommodations in all of Savannah. Providing the comfort, convenience, and technology that they are accustomed to at home, with the added beauty and Southern charm for which Savannah is known.

We were 4 sisters celebrating our youngest sisters 50th birthdays over a long weekend. The unit was adorable. Loved the decor, kitchen space, brick walls and the living area was very comfortable. Greatly enjoyed the patio where all 4 of us could sit after a long day and drink wine, eat a cheese plate (with honeycomb from Savannah bee company and glazed pecans from candy store next door), listen to music and play cards. Very convenient to everything on River street and a great people watching location. Checkout instructions were easy to adhere to. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful place. Great location. The owner was great with communication. The place was very clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. I went and got a two day visitor parking pass. And left my suv at the River street parking lot just outside. The Tour trolley ticket area is right on the opposite corner. Plant District was maybe an 8 minute walk. I would definitely recommend.

Why stay at a hotel and pay the same or more and have less space and privacy? Amazing character in the space! Just lovely…and cool too! Great location. Lots to walk to close by. Just love to watch the container ships cruise by out the window. Fun people watching. Never heard any noise aside from some happy candy shop teenage bench sitters on a busy Saturday night. No noise from sides or above. Would love to stay again and bring another couple even.

Savannah Riverfront
Cute property. Wifi not so great and bit slow sometimes and movies buffered some. Nice location on waterfront with a view; but Awful parking situation. I find it hard to believe that for the price you are renting this property per night that they do not provide you with a dedicated parking space. I feel certain that the property has one, they just don’t offer it to renters. That was a real bummer. Kitchen wasn’t as well stocked as other Vrbo properties we have stayed in but that was fine for us as we we planning on dining out most the time anyway. Towels were of poor quality, mismatched and had to hunt around to find washclothes. The front door has old wooden shutters that cover the French doors and it has lots of historical charm but they suggest you close the shutters at night & lock it with the cross board as well. Then deadbolt the French door shut. This is all for safety as this is a downtown location on the lower River front street with many tourists walking by. So keep that in mind when renting. I don’t know if I would want that location for single young women. I definitely don’t suggest it for people with small children. Or people with mobility problems as there is a very steep stoop up to the front door and very unstable footing at the bottom of the steps.
Having said all that, we enjoyed our stay there. It was fun to stand on the balcony and watched the ships go by. We personally enjoyed the location! I just know that it wouldn’t be suitable for everyone.

Great Week in Savannah
The property was as advertised. It was a great location for being able to walk almost all the places we wanted to see. Restaurants and bars were all close. If you are visiting Savannah I would strongly recommend this property. The only struggle was parking. We did rent a car because we wanted to come and go to the beach. The long term parking ramp suggested was open for monthly tenants only. Honestly, if you are not going to the beach or venturing outside the Historic district don't even rent a car.

Great loft experience on River St
The description was extremely accurate, communication with the owner was helpful and informative and you could not beat the location. I have rented several properties in the historic district and this is one of the best.

Our daughter and son in law have never experienced Savannah. We fee we get stayed at Factors Walk before and wanted them to experience all Savannah has to offer. This unit is right it the middle of everything and it did not disappoint. Great time

Perfect location and loft
We had an amazing time. The location was amazing, the loft was beautiful and comfortable. The beds were comfy. It was surprisingly quiet for the location. 2 parking spots available right outside of loft. Would recommend the loft 100%

Gorgeous design, best spot on all of River St!
Gorgeous, clean, easy, and I was able to call the owner to ask how to turn on a ceiling fan. He was readily available. I stayed with another 60+ girlfriend. The master is wonderful, the second bedroom is an interior room, no windows, with attached bath. Very comfortable, and being a loft it has an odd layout, part of the wonderful charm!

Lovely, prime spot on the river.
Wow. This property exceeded our expectations! Perfect location on the river. Beautiful waterfront balcony and front porch area. We felt like riverfront royalty. Clean and well stocked with kitchenware and soaps. Clear directions on spots with unique directions (ie: master shower, WiFi router) Host was easy to reach. Property was clearly professionally maintained and cleaned. We felt secure with the added security of double locked doors.
We struggled a bit upon arrival as the instructions advised us to enter through the stoop above a local pub, which was technically behind the building however the stoop in question is actually the front porch with table and chairs diagonal from the pub. This was a pleasant surprise because we assumed that area belonged to the pub. That little outdoor area was our favorite spot!
We loved it so much, we’re considering making this an annual tradition. What a wonderful little spot! Thank you so much for allowing us to occupy this beautiful condo.

Great Stay at the Hostess City of the South
The property was just as listed, and then some! The check in process was easily understood, the accommodations clean and appealing, the location superb. The cobblestone street (a true part of Savannah) may be difficult to maneuver for someone with walking difficulties. The location directly on the River with a great balcony was perfectly described. It was a little noisy at the end of the night, but it was to be expected due to its location. I would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful condo but difficult to get in and out of....cobblestone
Everything was great with the exception of the TV in the living room did not work. Had problems walking in and out the entrance but we are mature ladies. Had difficultly with the pad lock. Beautiful view and well appointed and we loved the history behind the condo. Wonderful for younger people. Great location. Enjoyed the cargo ocean container ships going by. A rare treat. Location, location, location.

Excellent space and fun atmosphere
We had a great time in this rental. We know Savannah really well, and wanted to be right on Riverstreet in order to attend a wedding within walking distance. This was a black tie affair and my husband and I were looking forward to three nights - child free - in a high end space, but the night prior, our nanny tested COVID positive. So…we packed up the girls (ages 2 and 8) and brought them along. It definitely changed the dynamic but they LOVED this house. We watched the ships come through at night from the balcony, they took a bath in the jetted tub, we walked to the candy store, restaurants, the waterfront, shops, everywhere. Meanwhile, even though we missed out on some of our planned adult activities, we were so thrilled with the space and the way the kids enjoyed it, it was still a great stay. The house is well appointed, and the location cannot be beat if you want to be on the River, right in the mix. I will say that you can be prepared for ship horn blasts late into the night (which we thought was cool) and Saturday night was sometimes loud down on the street late night with the partiers and car horns/engine revving. Thursday and Friday night were pretty quiet though! And the noise wasn’t overwhelming or anything, I just mention for people who need their sleep (my older parents might have had a harder time). Overall it’s a very cool and comfortable home, great space, we sent photos to everyone because it was beautiful! Highly recommend. We will rent again.

Anniversary weekend getaway
We wanted to get away with our best friends for a little R & R for our anniversary weekend. This location was great and being right above the sweet shop was an extra bonus. Everything was in walking distance and we had a great time. This location was clean and resembled the pictures. The beds were comfy and everything and the place was pristine. I would definitely recommend, but you will definitely need to bring some of your own home amenities such as shampoo, body wash, coffee etc.

Location, Location, Location!!!
This was a really beautiful modern home right in front of the river within walking distance of the best parts of historic downtown. Views are amazing! Lots of brick and stone paths can be difficult to walk if you’re challenged. Definitely NOT for anyone in a wheelchair or walker. If you don’t have problems walking, then this is the perfect spot. Loved the master balcony and the outdoor dining table. Wonderful!!!

Comfortable Getaway
My husband, daughter and her boyfriend rented this property during our son's wedding. The location was central to our various events over the weekend. Karl was very responsive to any questions before and during our stay. We all loved watching the boat traffic and people from the comfort of this beautiful condo. The floor plan is wonderful regarding privacy, should there be more than one couple in your group. The condo was very clean and within easy walking distance to many restaurants and sites. Many historical elements were incorporated into the renovation of this beautiful space which makes it truly one of a kind.

Great spot, Great Views, Lovely Accommodations
Easy access to all main thoroughfares. Right on the river, crowded area, but perfectly quiet and safe. Apartment is modern, very clean, and with plenty of parking garages in walking distances, if not metered parking just a few steps away. Would use the property again.

The only thing we didnt care for is there is not a parking spot for the unit ! That wouldve been very nice . If you want to be right there in the action you cant beat this place .

Very Disappointed
This unit is literally above a bar/pub. We had two bar patrons drinking and smoking at the base of the stairs to the unit door at 5:00 p.m. in the afternoon (we had to politely ask them to move so we could haul our suitcases up the stairs.) You can smell the stale food in the room and the walls have zero sound insulation so you hear every bit of traffic noise, tourist trolleys, bar patrons and rowdy tourists. The room smells of stale food from the bar/pub. There are no pantry items and no shampoo, etc. The hand soap in the bathroom was watered down. The WIFI is weak. My wife did not feel safe staying in the unit, so we had to find other accommodations. This is the area of the riverfront where you don't want to spend much time. The property owner would not work with us. Such a disappointing experience. We have booked through VRBO multiple occasions and have never had this type of experience. The only positive is the pictures do show what the interior rooms look like. For the amount of money you would spend per night, stay at the JW Marriott Riverside or the Forsyth Mansion. That is where you will find true Savannah hospitality.
And just on a side note, this is the first negative review I have ever posted.

Savannah-Factor's Walk - April 2021 Trip
This loft is a very nice, well located property. We enjoyed the living space as well as the two balconies that allowed us to sit outside and people watch as well as watch all the cargo barges go down the river. It's very close to the bars, restaurants, and shops along the river in the Factor's Walk area. It's also directly across the street from stop 10 of the hop-on/hop-off town trolley. So very convenient. My overall rating was 4/5 stars only because we are accustomed to staying at VRBO's that provide shampoo, adequate bath soap, kitchen dish soap, etc., and that was not the case here. The owner offered an explanation for it when I reached out to him (some people have allergies). Again, the space/location is very nice.

Great Location and Highly Recommend
This spot is great if you are looking to visit Savannah and be in a prime location. Balcony overlooking River Street was great and allowed us to be in the environment even when we didn't want to be out and about. Seeing the cargo ships coming in an out of port was a really cool added bonus. Within walking distance to essentially everything you would want to do.
Only con's (if I would even call them that) were the wifi needs an upgrade as the connection made it tough to connect consistently. Parking is a little confusing initially but for the location more than worth it!

Amazing!!!
Karl’s place is at a perfect location, easy to get around and within steps to great coffee shops and restaurants. His place is truly amazing, very clean and with spectacular views of the river off private balcony. Our family loved it and would definitely stay here again. Thanks Karl for having us! The Martin’s

Authentic Savannah Experience on the River
The property’s location was convenient, the property is unique with the cotton mill brick walls and wooden doors. As well as decor. Watching the ships on the river and crowd below is entertainment alone. Many restaurants within walking distance.

Absolutely love everything about this place!!!
This place is more than we expected. The location is perfect, overlooking River Street. The condo is beautifully decorated and upgraded. There is so much history in this condo. The original exposed brick walls were unforgettable. We were able to walk to the City Market within about five minutes. We will without a doubt stay here for all of our trips in the future. I even spoke to the property while we were there. He was very polite, helpful and friendly. Absolutely love everything about this place!!!!!

Great flat
We concur with all five-star reviews you see here. Karl's flat is superbly located on the river, nicely designed and appointed, very clean, and quiet at night. We didn't need a car because you can walk almost anywhere and the free DOT bus will get you pretty much everywhere else; historic homes, great restaurants and cafes fine museums and plenty of shopping if you wish.
We will be back!
