About the host
Hosted by Fernando Rodriguez

Whether you’re here for a short getaway, a KU game, or just passing through Lawrence, I want your stay to feel effortless, comfortable, and memorable.
Why they chose this property
The Iowa Street location is one of the most convenient spots in Lawrence. You’re minutes from the University of Kansas campus, downtown Mass Street’s restaurants and shops, and quick highway access if you’re coming from Kansas City or Topeka. The neighborhood is peaceful and safe, but close enough to everything that you’ll never feel far from the action.
What makes this property unique
This cozy studio is designed with simplicity and comfort in mind. You’ll find thoughtful touches like a fully stocked kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and a comfortable bed to unwind after exploring. Guests also enjoy private parking and the ease of checking in on their own schedule. What sets it apart is the balance, it’s affordable, functional, and styled to feel like a little retreat in the heart of Lawrence.
