AMAZING!! Blown away!! First off the location is a stones throw away from Allen Fieldhouse. Very short walk! The home is filled with the vibe of KU and Lawrence! The house looks as if it was professionally decorated. Absolutely beautiful! The beds are highend and the softest sheets I have ever slept on. The host Mia is incredible. She could not have been kinder or more helpful. We were late getting in because of bad weather. She was beyond accommodating. I love coming to Lawrence I just hope next time I come this place is available. THE BEST!!!
