Fabulous home in the perfect location. Everything was absolutely as advertised and even better experience. If I could leave a higher than 5-star rating, I would. Hope to return for our next family visit to Lawrence.

Wonderful home base in Lawrence
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!
