Built in 1794, the Lafayette is a spacious, downtown apartment home overlooking one of Lancaster’s most prestigious, private city gardens. The space hints to a past when things were simpler while highlighting the creature comforts one demands of today's modern spaces. The bedroom fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere during cooler nights, and the bed and high quality linens ensure a peaceful night's rest. The home is equipped with a smart tv and Xfinity high speed internet to provide travelers the assurance of staying connected. The shared outdoor area allows guests to interact with other travelers, yet equally provides plenty of space for a more intimate travel experience.

The Lafayette entrance is easily accessed by parking in the rear of the home located at 133 E. Marion St. (See check-in link). The third parking space from Marion St. is reserved for this home.

The entrance to the Lafayette is private and the laundry room and rear outdoor space is shared with other apartment homes on the premise. The laundry area is accessible from the exterior of the home by following the path under the stairs to the door next to the trash & recycling area.
