    The detail taken to preserve the history of the apartment but with modern day comforts was impressive. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back the next we are in Kansas City!!

    This was a wonderful stay! The VRBO was stocked with everything we could need, the hosts truly went above and beyond to make the experience comfortable and pleasant for us. The stairs are steep so you need to make sure you can carry luggage up, but once we were in, we couldn’t have asked for more. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone!

    Great property if you like an old home feel. The home was very nicely decorated and the hosts provided some nice touches to welcome us. As mentioned in other reviews, the inside stairs are very steep. Traveling in Kansas City was a breeze with map apps on your phone, otherwise might be difficult.

    Nick and Rachel were very communicative. Our stay was very comfortable and accommodating. The neighborhood is beautiful! It is centrally located with just short uber rides to get to all of our destinations. The unit itself was clean, welcoming, and met all of our needs. It has a vintage feel that worked so well in the space. There are small touches all around to make it feel like a home. I highly recommend this property!

    Overall, a good stay. Bed was comfortable. Couch was not. Air conditioning was very good on hot days. Plenty of room for a couple. T.V. and selections available were great. Coffee maker not so good (Very small). No dish towels that we could find. Communication was very good and fast. Location was very quiet and felt safe. Fan/lights with remote were awesome. I would recommend this place.

    The hosts provided excellent communication. The check in process was easy - a code to the door was provided days before arrival. The hosts checked in peridoically to see what we needed - but everything we could need was already accounted for. The house is old, but the rooms were well-kept and nicely furnished. The room was cool and comfortable, even during 95 degree weather. The only potential concern were the stairs - we had no issue, they were safe and well-lit, but for guests with modbility issues, just know that there are several flights of stairs up to the room entrance. I don't believe there is an elevator.

    This Vrbo unit was on the third floor of a 120 year home. This spacious unit was rich in amenities: dish washer, washer and dryer combo, garbage disposal and everything else you would expect in a well equipped Vrbo. We loved the location. Large tree lined streets with beautiful old homes as old as this unit.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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! :)
