We enjoyed our stay here - it was comfortable, clean, had fun decor, and was in a great location for walking everywhere we wanted to go (campus, Mass St., etc.). Fernando was very responsive / great with communications. It was our first time in Lawrence - such a charming town.

Great little 2 bed apartment on a lovely little college town street. So much older architecture to see there. Beds were comfortable, and living space was sufficient. We even had enough hot water for 4 girls and one bathroom! Parking was not an issue, especially if you use the alley.

It was a nice place, the air worked really well. It was easy to find and get into. Just didn’t know it was a down stairs apartment, so it was a little different being somewhat under ground. But over all it was a nice stay. Would recommend it to other who Ned a place to stay
