KU women’s weekend

The apartment is in a great location! Walking distance to downtown Lawrence…clean, well-appointed rental. Major downside is it is located in a building with very loud residents. Loud music at late hours and very loud talking/yelling well into the night/morning. Not a fault of the host at all-but if you’re looking for a restful nights sleep this is not the place for you.

KU visit and basketball game

What a perfect place to stay for the weekend, location was great. Just one comment, you may want to take a look at the kitchen table it was very wobbly (we tried to tighten the legs, but it appeared the screws were stripped). Just need probably 2 new screws. We would totally stay here again - location and size of the home for my group was perfect.

Great place right next to Mass St

Nice, clean, cozy spot on the tailend of the student ghetto. Just a short walk from Mass St. Might be a bit rowdy if class is in session, but was nice and quiet over winter break. Host very friendly and responsive. Check in/check out was a breeze. Nice little mock fireplace provided cozy vibes with the snow outside.

Wonderful little basement apartment. Very warm and chic. It was small, but comfortable for two. It would have been too crowded for more. Getting inside was easy, as was parking, and the unit was spotless. There are no comfortable spaces for smokers to sit outside. That would be my only complaint.

Nice place

Overall this was a nice little place to stay. It was comfortable for me as a smaller person but most of the furniture was not big enough to be comfortable for my brother who is 6'3/250. It could also definitely use some more blankets.

For what it was they did a great job with decorating. It’s an old property and the unit is in the basement. The unit was very clean and well appointed. The only complaints would be that we couldn’t get the A/C below 70 degrees and a lot of light from security lights pouring into the bedrooms. The niceties were a nice tv, ice in the freezer, an assortment of Keurig coffee pods for the Keurig and comfortable bedding. Would stay here again.

Cozy and Chic was perfect.

The location was perfect for us. It is close to Mass Street, close to campus, and close to our daughter. We were able to walk to campus. Inside, Cozy and Chic had everything we needed for our 5 day stay. The kitchen was well appointed and the washer and dryer was a plus. The beds were comfortable and parking was easy. We will be back for sure.

Hello, I'm Fernando, a Kansas-based individual and business owner originally from Mexico City.

As an avid traveler, I'm always on the lookout for new places to explore and create lasting memories. My passion for food and fitness keeps me energized on my journeys.

I graduated from the University of Kansas with a major in sports science and furthered my education at Emporia State University, earning an M.A in Exercise Physiology and Health Promotion with a minor in Spanish.

My travels have taken me across the United States and beyond, and I've always found Airbnb to be an excellent resource for discovering fantastic accommodations and connecting with local hosts.

As a guest, I pride myself on being exceptionally clean and respectful of the homes I stay in and the communities I visit. Whether you're interested in learning more about me or have any questions, feel free to send me a message!

I'm excited about the possibility of staying at your home or hosting you at mine through VRBO. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Just a brief 5-minute drive from Mass Street and the bustling energy of the University of Kansas, this residence strikes a harmonious balance. You'll find yourself close enough to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and local attractions, yet just far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle.

What I love most about the neighborhood is the convenience it offers. While situated in a peaceful pocket, you can take a leisurely stroll to explore the local favorites for a delightful meal or a cup of coffee. The proximity to Mass Street and KU ensures that you can immerse yourself in the lively culture and events, yet return to a serene retreat when you desire peace and quiet.

It's the best of both worlds – the charm of a lively neighborhood and the tranquility of a peaceful haven. I'm thrilled to share this wonderful experience with you, providing a comfortable and enjoyable stay in this fantastic location.
