This was the perfect place to stay for Moms weekend with my KU senior! Clean, safe, quiet, but close to Mass street and campus.

Amazing Stay!

This property is a beautifully decorated and functional home to stay in after exploring the local community. The beds were extremely comfortable and easy to fall asleep in. The kitchen was well equipped for making meals, and entertainment was certainly covered by the surround system and extremely large smart TV! Truly enjoyed our family stay at this property! The communication with the management team was also on point!

Wonderful Accomodations

This is a great place to stay. It is located within a 5-15 drive from all kinds of stores, including grocery stores, restaurants, downtown, Kansas University, and others. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. There is a walking trail just yards from the apartment. The views from the apartment are beautiful and peaceful. The apartment is spacious and well equipped. The bed that I used was very comfortable. There is a desk in one of the bedrooms, but the dining table was great place to work too. The only disappointment for me was that the the living room with the large TV and comfortable sofa is right over the bedroom of the downstairs unit and the occupants can hear the TV, even when it is set at a lower volume. I'm a night owl, so I ended up having to watch TV after 10:00 pm in the bedroom. Despite that, I really enjoyed staying here and will rent this apartment again if I come back to Lawrence.
