Quiet, private, and fully remodeled. Minutes from KU and Mass

This newly remodeled studio offers a calm, comfortable stay within walking distance of the University of Kansas and only a five-minute drive to downtown Lawrence. While the entrance is near an active road, the studio itself is tucked away and surprisingly quiet once inside, creating a peaceful space to relax and unwind.

The interior is bright, clean, and intentionally designed with stylish details throughout. The open layout makes the space feel airy and comfortable, whether you’re preparing a meal, enjoying a glass of wine, or settling in for a quiet evening. The kitchen is fully stocked and features brand-new appliances and a butcher block countertop, making it easy to cook simple meals or enjoy takeout from nearby restaurants.

The living area includes a comfortable sofa and a large smart TV, perfect for watching your favorite shows after a day exploring Lawrence. High-speed WiFi is included for streaming or remote work.

The sleeping area features a comfortable bed designed for restful nights, and the bathroom includes a warm shower, plush towels, and complimentary toiletries to help you feel at ease during your stay. A washer and dryer are available for guest use, making this studio convenient for longer visits.

Guests enjoy keyless entry for a smooth, self check-in experience, along with private parking located just steps from the unit. While the property is close to city activity, the interior remains quiet and well insulated, offering a sense of privacy that’s rare this close to campus and downtown.

This studio is ideal for solo travelers, couples, or guests looking for a quiet, relaxing place to stay while remaining close to the University of Kansas, Mass Street, and local attractions. The home is professionally cleaned before every stay and prepared to look exactly like the photos, so you can arrive with confidence.

Guests have full, private access to the studio. This is a self-service stay, allowing for privacy and independence, while support is available through the platform if questions come up before or during your visit.

If you’re looking for a clean, peaceful, and well-located studio near KU and downtown Lawrence, this space offers a comfortable and stress-free home base.

The location was fantastic. We walked to David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium for a football game. The place is perfect for 2 people, anymore than that might be a bit tight. Prompt communication throughout our stay.

Amazing Spot in Lawrence

We were visiting Lawrence for a campus visit and could not have stayed in a more wonderful place. The bed is incredible. Most comfortable night's sleep in memory. And all the little touches were great. Host was really great with communication. Would gladly stay there again!

Dad's Weekend

Just one night to visit our son for fraternity dad's weekend. Super cozy, I enjoyed watching movies and making soup for the fraternity holiday decorating. AND...the option for early check in and late checkout was AMAZING, something I wish more places would do. Easy to get around. On a bit of a busy street, but I had no problem getting in and out of the drive at different times of day.
