Great location, cozy spot!

The location really can't be beat, just a block from the shops and restaurants on 39th St. Yet somehow it was extremely quiet. The cottage itself is nicely appointed and attractively decorated. The bed was comfortable enough, but all pillows are firm, so if that's not your jam, bring your own. The kitchen is very spacious, although I can't attest to how well it is stocked, as we didn't use it to cook (our daughter lives 2 blocks away). Management provided coffee grinds and sugar/creamer but not much else. Many other rental properties I've stayed in offer bottled water and a selection of snacks, fruit, breakfast bars, etc. (one even had eggs straight from their hen, lol). You won't find that here, but there's a Sun Fresh grocery not far away. Management was responsive when we had a question about the thermostat, but was otherwise hands off. I guess my only slight "complaint," if there is one, is that the grout in the shower needs to be scrubbed clean...but the water pressure is good and I truly appreciate that they installed shower doors instead of a shower curtain. Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient place to hang our hats for a long weekend. Next time we come to KC to visit our daughter, I'm certain we will rent it again.

A Place of Recovery

We booked this location because of its proximity to KU med and it was the perfect place to stay while my mom had surgery. Every detail and need was attended to and we appreciated being able to walk to a number of restaurants. My sister has a service dog and it was a great to have a fenced in back yard and a really nice neighborhood for walking. We will stay here again for follow up treatment at the hospital. .

Eclectic Urban Neighborhood

This home was a great spot for my husband and I to enjoy our first trip to KC. We stayed 3 nights. The neighborhood provided a variety of restaurants within walking distance. The off-street parking at the house was a great asset. We used Uber and Lyft to get around mostly. (Words of warning - getting a service to take us home from Kauffman Stadium was difficult.) There was plenty of space for us to unwind and cool down after a hot day of touring. We had everything we needed to make breakfast each day. The managing company was easy to communicate with and answered questions quickly! The reasons I can’t give this place a full 5 stars are personal in nature. If you aren’t used to urban neighborhoods and a few homeless folks in your path, you may not feel comfortable walking around. My husband and I have some mobility issues and the bathroom was a bit difficult to maneuver. The mattresses were on slated wooden frames and didn’t provide the support we are accustomed to. The television streaming service did not offer a full variety of programming. The pictures and listing of the home were very accurate and the home will be great for many, but I wanted to share these details with those who may have the same needs as we do. That being said, if you like the privacy of a personal residence during your vacations, the home would be a good place to stay while visiting KC.
