Good spot

Within a quick drive to all the spots on our list. Was hoping we could walk sometimes, but a little too far for that. Streets were tight, which is the norm in KC, but we did always have a close spot to park. Place was nicely decorated and clean. Had to move rug at front door to open it fully. Missing wine glasses and any plastic or aluminum wrap, but otherwise fully stocked. We ate breakfast and one dinner in during our two night stay. Would recommend extending check out time to at least 11. Nice stay and would recommend.

Inside is great

The inside is very nice. It was well decorated and stocked. It completely met our needs and the bedrooms was nice. We are not familiar with the area. The neighbors were very nice, however, there are sections nearby that seemed unsafe. The neighbors told us to not walk in one direction (towards Troost) at night. I wouldn’t stay here again with children, but with adults I would. The outside also needed to be maintained better. The inside was perfect.

Amazing pet-friendly gem in the city

We were thoroughly impressed with the property and our host. I stayed a week by myself and my two sisters joined me for the last weekend. I was delighted with the fenced backyard for my pup. The dog treats and all the info on things to do in the city with your dog were great. The park is only a block away and was perfect for daily walks. We loved the proximity to Westport and the Waldo area for bars and restaurants too. We very much enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again!
