Notes from the host
The Pavo
This is a 'Designs by Davis' home.
The Pavo was inspired by the Pavo constellation. You can find a gorgeous illustration of this constellation at The Pavo.
The Pavo is located 0.8 miles from the OU Stadium and 0.5 miles from Campus Corner, providing a perfect location for walkability to all that the OU Campus area has to offer.
Come home to a comfortable space, with 2 king memory foam beds and 2 twin memory foam beds.

Please *stay cautious* of the patio stairs with infants, children, pets, and our elder guests.

For a second seating option on a sunny day, we provide two (2) swinging chairs and two (2) stationery seating options on the front porch.
Please *stay cautious* of the porch steps with infants, children, pets, and our elder guests.
* Please don’t get too wild on the swings, as there is a large window right behind them.
Guest access
Parking
We provide parking for four (4) vehicles in total. The Pavo sits on the corner of our lot, conveniently providing two (2) driveways.
• There are two (2) parking spots, one vehicle directly behind the other, in the paved driveway to the left of the front entrance to The Pavo on Boyd Street.
• There are two (2) parking spots, one directly behind the other, in the natural driveway at the back entrance of The Pavo on Flood Ave. Please enter and exit this driveway with caution, as it is steep and narrow. Please be aware that if you drive a lower-to-the-ground rig, you may consider using the front (paved) driveway instead. This is a natural driveway, so be cautious in wet weather. This is a shared driveway, so please park aligning with the left garage door only.
* Please be aware that both driveways are entered and exited on a busy street. Back out with caution!
Other things to note
We’d like to point out again that our home sits on the corner of the lot.
This does conveniently provide extra parking spaces, and due to the location it also provides an incredibly convenient walking distance to OU Campus and Campus Corner!
This is a booming neighborhood with lots of events happening throughout the year. Please *stay cautious* of children and pets outside of the backyard, as there is potential for plenty of traffic.
We'd also like to set the following expectation: due to nationwide shortages of supplies, we have been and remain unable to find and/or purchase privacy blinds for the windows. Our windows are dressed with curtains, but we have yet to be able to find window blinds. Please be made aware of this, and know that we are still searching to supply our home with privacy blinds. Thank you for understanding!
