We enjoyed the property. The owners were very easy to work with. The vacation rental is a basement apartment in the owner's home. We were a little iffy about that, but it was fantastic. It felt very clean, private and quiet. And it had basically everything we needed for a short trip. Our boys loved the video games and TV setup. They also liked seeing the owner's dogs outside on the property. The adults appreciated the notebook filled with the owner's favorite restaurants and things to do nearby. We ended up taking their suggestions and were more than pleased.
Our family went to KC for the Sporting KC game and Legoland. This home was the perfect getaway for that. It is about 25 minutes from Children's Mercy Park, but we didn't mind the drive. It's close enough to everything, but far enough away to have a quiet, country feel.
There was a little confusion around checkout times. The VRBO app said 11am, but the owner's checkout time was actually 10am. We ended up checking out late by accident, because of the time discrepancy, but the owners were incredibly nice about it. We appreciated the grace they showed us for the mistake and would definitely stay again.
