Fun Family weekend
We had a great time.
The night life was a little noisy for our family but we all got sleep.
The bathroom and shower were also hard to get ready in.

Great location in Lawrence
This was a great location to Mass street. Parking is probably the biggest downfall. There's room for one or two cars behind property but all other parking around it is metered until 5 on Friday, so if you check-in before 5 you just have to pay for a meter until 5.

Great spot close to Mass Street
Cute house, convenient location. We liked having a fenced backyard and there was plenty of room for a pack n play in the upstairs bedrooms. We enjoyed walking to La Prima Tazza every morning for coffee then strolling around the neighborhood to look at the beautiful homes. We'd stay here again!
