You’ll have private access to Mildred’s entire garden flat, including both bedrooms, the full kitchen, bathroom, and your own screened front porch and enclosed courtyard garden — no sharing required (Mildred wouldn’t have allowed it). Check-in begins at 4:00 PM. You’ll receive self-check-in instructions before arrival, so you can come and go as you please — just like old friends used to at Mildred’s. Parking: Guests are welcome to park up to two cars on the property. They must park tandem, and parking is on the sandy rear not. But it's worth noting- Downtown Savannah is best for strolling with a cocktail, not driving. Park the car, and relax.
