The overall impression was very favorable. The one thing that I wish was better were the bed linens. I was alternately hot and cold all night long. Cold without the comforter hot with it. And intermediate light cotton blanket would’ve solved the problem. Place was clean well appointed location information was accurate within Lawrence. If it was noted that the unit was partially below ground level I missed it in the description. The host responded promptly to all my questions. All in all a pleasant experience.

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.
