Everything was as it said
Excellent communication with renter. Plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms for our group - so nice that we didn't have to all share. Plenty of hot water for everyone to shower. I had to clean the washer out a little and the coffee machine, but it was no big deal. Very close to everything we needed. I really enjoyed it!

This was a great place to stay overall! 5 bedrooms all with their own bathrooms/showers made our group stay a breeze! The beds and pillows were all very comfortable. Kitchen accommodations were quality and useful. We loved the shareable spaces with multiple table and seating options. The back patio/yard was also a fun place to hang out and play some games! Location was good for downtown activities and other exploring. The parking can be tight for bigger vehicles but we appreciated there was off street parking for several vehicles available. Overall enjoyed this house for our trip!

From the moment we entered this beautiful house we were amazed at the cleanliness, it smelled wonderful, we had so much space. Each room had their own bathrooms which blew all of us away. The charm and style we just loved it all. The beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels. Amenities were readily available. The back yard is perfect for family of all ages with games and fires pit. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the stay and we would definitely stay again.

Great for a large group!
To be honest, we were slightly nervous driving to the house, as the neighborhood to the north of the property appears to be a bit "rough". However, the house itself was surrounded by other (what appeared to be) rental houses. A short 3 block drive south and west took us into a much nicer neighborhood. We stayed for a bachelorette party, so we had 12 women. The house was perfect for sleeping 2-3 guests per room, each with our own bathroom. However, we only had 2 towels and 1 washcloth in most bathrooms (I would recommend bringing your own if you don't want to share). In addition, we were able to find extra comforters for the sofa beds and plenty of pillows, but there were no extra sets of sheets to be found. The house has an extra "kitchenette"/laundry room on the upper level, which was convenient. And the hosts provided us with extra coffee/creamer/sugar for the coffee makers. The backyard was nice...fenced in and fairly private, with the exception of sharing a backyard with the rental house next door. As for location, the house was a very short Uber ride to Country Club Plaza, and not a bad Uber ride to Power & Light. Being with a group of girls, we took an Uber everywhere for safety, but you could also walk to Country Club Plaza or the art museum. In addition, there is a nice coffee shop just across the street and a walking path just a couple blocks west of the house. For the price, it was perfect for our needs. We weren't in the house much other than sleeping.

Great house!
The house is wonderful! Very clean, lots of room, and very well equipped. William responds almost immediately to messages. The area immediately around the house is fine but if you go a couple blocks, the neighborhood is a little "sub par" but we didn't have any problems at all. I believe it is an area in transition. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Truly a wonderful property. Easy to get to. Other reviews commented poorly on the neighborhood but our group had no problems and didn't think it was bad at all. The house is beautiful, great kitchen and most importantly plenty of room for people to spread out or gather together and enjoy each other. A real five Star experience.

Some good... Some not so good
The property had nice decor and remodeling. However, it could have been cleaner. I found the floors and stairs to need a bit more attention, but the towels and bedding were clean and smelled fresh. It had plenty of room, bedrooms and bathrooms for my whole family. This was great!
The major downfall of the property is the location. It is not in the best neighborhood, even though it is close to the plaza and fairly close to downtown KC. This is probably reflected by the price, which I was happy with. So, overall, is was a pretty good stay. A couple of annoying things: the upstairs has motion activated lights in the hallway. They are very bright and shined into the bedrooms due to the windows above the doors. The street is not very quiet either. We heard maybe outdoor noises.

Great place & stay - but YOU DESERVE TO KNOW THE VRBO'S REAL LOCATION
Before I say what I want to say, the house is great - perfect for a large group, clean, tidy, etc. For these reasons, the home was great for our weekend, subject to my comments below.
The listing says this is "close to art museum" and "plaza." While this is somewhat true (within a half mile of both), there is some deception going on here. The house actually sits on Troost Avenue (known as one of the more dangerous roads/areas in KC) - something I believe every renter should be aware of - and frankly, I think withholding that fact from people traveling into KC with their family, likely not having an idea of the neighborhoods/roads, and all while paying good money should not be allowed under any circumstance by VRBO. With all of that being said, we had a car broken into and stolen on our first night. A police report was filed the next morning and the car was located down Troost Ave. two mornings later - totaled. Now clearly that isn't the homeowner's fault - however, it's their fault for leading us to believe we were booking a home - non-refundable may I point out - "close to art museum/plaza" and/or in "south hyde park."
Therefore, beware of location. It's a great, spacious home INSIDE, which is all on par with how it is advertised. The outside, however, including primarily the location of the home, is not as advertised. I was stunned to find no similar reviews warning others of this very issue.
