The home was well stocked, nice beds and linens, towels. Bedrooms super nice. The lay out could be tough for some. Top floor very steep stairs and the second full bath is upstairs. Great coffee shop. Oddly perfect was fabulous. Close to the plaza and art museums. On Troost street which doesn't feel in a neighborhood but bedrooms all had fans to block out any noise. Overall loved our stay. Would recommend.

Fantastic location & property

Our extended family was in town for the weekend for a wedding in downtown KC. This house was conveniently located near the Country Club Plaza and downtown. The home itself was well maintained and nicely decorated with several thoughtful details, like coffee, cold water in the refrigerator, and throw blankets in all rooms. The host was extremely responsive. 5 stars all the way around!!

Family Stay

It was a very comfortable stay! There was enough room for all of us and everything was set up very well. I would suggest adding that the king bed is on the 3rd floor with very very steep stairs. Communication with the owner was always prompt and very clear. All the bedding was clean and very comfortable. It was a total of 13 people that stayed at the house, including 5 children, and we never felt cramped. Would definitely recommend for larger groups.its also within walking distance of the KC Forehouse which is where my BIL got married. Thank you for your hospitality!!

About the host

Hosted by William Bates

Host profile image
I am William Bates, a community and business professional with solid experience and knowledge of Kansas City communities and a passion to see these communities grow and thrive. I am a trained urban planner with a degree in Urban Studies from University of Missouri at Kansas City and a Master’s in Business Administration. I currently live in the Historic Manheim Park community where I have served in the past as a member of the Community Leadership Council (e.g., Board of Directors) and oversee all housing and infrastructure development projects on behalf of the community. I am currently active in the community working with the Urban Neighborhood Initiative, the Troost Community Investment District Development Committee and several other local organizations. I love Kansas City and I am eager to lend my time and talents to help our local communities grow and thrive.

I moved to Kansas City approximately ten years ago to attend the University of Missouri at Kansas City where I completed a bachelor’s degree in Urban Studies with a concentration in community development. Through my training, I developed a passion for working in Kansas City communities and specifically leveraging resources from various sources to help these communities to become safer, more livable places where residents are proud to call these communities home. My interest in Urban Neighborhoods stems from this passion to leverage my talents as an urban planner and my training/professional experience in business to help improve the lives of people who live in central Kansas City. Beyond working with Urban neighborhoods, I have a passion in gardening and renovating houses.
