Historical 3rd-Floor Charmer

We really enjoyed the property. The private side entrance was nice because we knew we weren't disturbing anyone while coming and going. The apartment was clean and decorated very nicely, and the amenities were ample. The hosts were very responsive. The best part was that we were in the middle of everything we wanted to do. We very seldom took the highway and instead drove on the thoroughfares/artery streets to get from midtown to downtown or uptown or KCKS quickly. The steps are significant, but carpeted and manageable with sturdy railings. Thank you, Nick and Rachel. We definitely look forward to staying at your 120-year old historical charmer again!

Quaint Apartment

We enjoyed staying at this quaint apartment while in Kansas City. It was as advertised, creatively decorated, unique, and memorable. The host was responsive and helpful, making the entire process seamless. We much prefer these types of experiences to impersonal hotel stays. We recommend this lovely apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable and charming home away from home.

Cozy and charming. Would stay again!

This was such a a great place to stay! The unit has a cozy, retro, and antique vibe. The bed was comfortable and clean. There were plenty of towels and wash cloths. The hosts were in contact via messages and responded quickly. We had no issues with finding the home or parking. The location is fantastic for getting anywhere in downtown quickly! I will note that this unit has some pretty steep stairs to climb. We had no problem with that, but if you have mobility issues it could be difficult to access. We loved it so much and would absolutely come back for another visit!

Felt at home

Space was charming. Needed a space to lay our heads while visiting relatives nearby.The host was attentive without be intrusive. The space had all the necessity items. If you forgot something it probably would be there. Area was clean and well kept. The only fault might be long set of narrow steps to the location but nothing not in the description and there was a sitting area on one landing in case you needed a break heading up. Neighborhood was quiet and felt safe enough for a 2 mile walk one morning. Place is on my list of possible future stays.

Quaint studio apartment

The apartment was clean and cheery. My friend had a little trouble navigating the steps. Close to many things. The hosts are great. They even included a bottle of wine. I forgot a portable charger and they have graciously said they would send it to me.

This property was the perfect fit for our one night stay. The communication was great. We found the location very easily and were able to enter with no problems. The 3rd floor room was so nice, very clean, and very cozy. We would recommend this for anyone.

Adorable and convenient!

The location on this VRBO cannot be beat. We were easily able to see a Royals game, visit the Jazz and NLB museums, see a show at the Midland Theatre, and enjoy the City Market all with short simple drives. The apartment itself was incredibly cute and cozy with great decor. The hygiene essentials included under the sink were so helpful and saved us a trip to a drug store. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to really dig in and enjoy the city!

Great place to stay at. Check in and check out process were easy and simple. Great communication with the hosts. Quiet neighborhood. Great distance to everything. Only downside was that the stairs were a bit narrow and steep. Other than that, we had a great time.

Great little spot for a weeklong stay

We enjoyed our stay here for 5 nights in KC. It was centrally located, making our daily excursions easy to get to in a short amount of time. The space was perfect for 2 people with separate spaces for sleeping, eating, and relaxing. Our hosts communicated well and were quick to answer our questions. And the stairs ensured that I did not lose momentum on my exercise routine while on vacation! :)
