Near everything off Mass St.

Quaint upstairs apartment in older downtown Lawrence area, just 2 short blocks from lower Mass St. We were able to walk to all the stores and restaurants downtown with ease as well as walk up the hill to the KU campus for the football game in about 15 mins. Neighborhood was quiet, neighbors seemed nice. Note, the owners also use the upstairs of the house which share the A/C, so it would be good to communicate that prior to setting the air up/down.
