Cozy Private Suite in Cultural District! Walk to Mass St. ~ 5 min to KU Campus
The survey seems to be asking about a pool. There is no pool I am aware of. This was a great little spot close to downtown and Mass St. Was very clean and cutely decorated. The only thing I personally didnt like was the firmness of the mattress, it is very firm. Would stay again!

Wabi Sabi - King Bed/2Bed/2ba, Ground level
The vrbo was very clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. The hosts responded in a timely manner. There was a very nice brewery /restaurant directly across the street. Very convenient location for downtown Lawrence and KU. Would definitely stay there ...
