Cozy and charming. Would stay again!

This was such a a great place to stay! The unit has a cozy, retro, and antique vibe. The bed was comfortable and clean. There were plenty of towels and wash cloths. The hosts were in contact via messages and responded quickly. We had no issues with finding the home or parking. The location is fantastic for getting anywhere in downtown quickly! I will note that this unit has some pretty steep stairs to climb. We had no problem with that, but if you have mobility issues it could be difficult to access. We loved it so much and would absolutely come back for another visit!

My friend and I stayed for the weekend for a concert in town and loved everything about this place. Decor is beautiful as is the neighborhood and had such a homey feel to it. Hosts were very kind and welcoming. Everything we could ever need was provided, and I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in a safe and comfortable area.

Great place to stay at. Check in and check out process were easy and simple. Great communication with the hosts. Quiet neighborhood. Great distance to everything. Only downside was that the stairs were a bit narrow and steep. Other than that, we had a great time.

This property was the perfect fit for our one night stay. The communication was great. We found the location very easily and were able to enter with no problems. The 3rd floor room was so nice, very clean, and very cozy. We would recommend this for anyone.

Great little spot for a weeklong stay

We enjoyed our stay here for 5 nights in KC. It was centrally located, making our daily excursions easy to get to in a short amount of time. The space was perfect for 2 people with separate spaces for sleeping, eating, and relaxing. Our hosts communicated well and were quick to answer our questions. And the stairs ensured that I did not lose momentum on my exercise routine while on vacation! :)

Adorable and convenient!

The location on this VRBO cannot be beat. We were easily able to see a Royals game, visit the Jazz and NLB museums, see a show at the Midland Theatre, and enjoy the City Market all with short simple drives. The apartment itself was incredibly cute and cozy with great decor. The hygiene essentials included under the sink were so helpful and saved us a trip to a drug store. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to really dig in and enjoy the city!

Felt at home

Space was charming. Needed a space to lay our heads while visiting relatives nearby.The host was attentive without be intrusive. The space had all the necessity items. If you forgot something it probably would be there. Area was clean and well kept. The only fault might be long set of narrow steps to the location but nothing not in the description and there was a sitting area on one landing in case you needed a break heading up. Neighborhood was quiet and felt safe enough for a 2 mile walk one morning. Place is on my list of possible future stays.

Great location with nice spaces.

The location was ideal as my sister just bought a place a block away. Stairs were a little steep, but easily negotiated. Super clean with a few very nice touches. Great communications with the host, too. I’ll definitely be staying again since it’s so close to my sister’s new place.

Home away from home

I felt at home here. The owners went above and beyond to make my stay cozy and convenient. The check in process was seamless. The flat is loaded with everything you need but inevitably forget when traveling (toothepaste, brushes, Advil, floss, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, coffee, tea, etc etc). The bed was comfortable, the neighborhood is pretty quiet. I couldn’t have had a better stay.
