We had a great experience at this property. We were in Kansas City for two weeks on a family visit with daily activities around the city. Ample driveway parking, a curated well-lit entry, the location (just north of I70) gave us easy access to the city and made it easy to come and go.Bryan, the host, was attentive and always available to answer our questions and checked in to make sure everything was going well on our long stay. The check-in process was smooth and easy, Bryan provided clear instructions that made our arrival stress-free, and the check-out process was reasonable and straight forward.The property itself was exactly as described in the listing. The living spaces were comfortable, the themed rooms were visually special, and the beds were comfy. The owners made it easy to enjoy the house by providing more than the normal VRBO’s amount of consumables, and the TV was easy to connect our devices to.This property worked well for us.
