Loved staying at this property! It's close to downtown for shopping and dining! Easy in and out to get to other areas of town, too. The owners of the property were super communicative, which is always nice. The home is beautiful and suited our needs perfectly!
The house was exactly how it looks and is described! The location was wonderful, easy walk to Mass St. for food, shopping and ice cream. The hosts were super quick to respond to any question I had. We will definitely stay again for any trip we have to Lawerence!
We stayed as a group of friends visiting Lawrence for our high school reunion. This home was a great place for us to relax and catch up, centrally located to everything that we wanted to do. It was great to be able to walk directly downtown to eat or shop, and driving elsewhere in town was super simple, too. A very comfortable and relaxing stay!
The house is darling! Looks just as advertised. Very clean and well stocked and a great central location. We had 8 1988 KU grads stay together and we had the best time. Thank you, Kari and Scott! Rock Chalk!
The house could not be better. Location is great - very close to downtown, close to campus. All walkable. House was very well appointed and very clean. Owners thought of everything. Not a single complaint or recommended change.
