KU women’s weekend

The apartment is in a great location! Walking distance to downtown Lawrence…clean, well-appointed rental. Major downside is it is located in a building with very loud residents. Loud music at late hours and very loud talking/yelling well into the night/morning. Not a fault of the host at all-but if you’re looking for a restful nights sleep this is not the place for you.

KU visit and basketball game

What a perfect place to stay for the weekend, location was great. Just one comment, you may want to take a look at the kitchen table it was very wobbly (we tried to tighten the legs, but it appeared the screws were stripped). Just need probably 2 new screws. We would totally stay here again - location and size of the home for my group was perfect.

Great place right next to Mass St

Nice, clean, cozy spot on the tailend of the student ghetto. Just a short walk from Mass St. Might be a bit rowdy if class is in session, but was nice and quiet over winter break. Host very friendly and responsive. Check in/check out was a breeze. Nice little mock fireplace provided cozy vibes with the snow outside.

Wonderful little basement apartment. Very warm and chic. It was small, but comfortable for two. It would have been too crowded for more. Getting inside was easy, as was parking, and the unit was spotless. There are no comfortable spaces for smokers to sit outside. That would be my only complaint.

Nice place

Overall this was a nice little place to stay. It was comfortable for me as a smaller person but most of the furniture was not big enough to be comfortable for my brother who is 6'3/250. It could also definitely use some more blankets.

For what it was they did a great job with decorating. It’s an old property and the unit is in the basement. The unit was very clean and well appointed. The only complaints would be that we couldn’t get the A/C below 70 degrees and a lot of light from security lights pouring into the bedrooms. The niceties were a nice tv, ice in the freezer, an assortment of Keurig coffee pods for the Keurig and comfortable bedding. Would stay here again.
