    We needed accommodations in KC for a 6 day stay. We found this cute, very homey house to stay at. We really enjoyed the layout of this home and the large, fenced in backyard. It made traveling with a large dog so much nicer. Everything was so clean and the king bed was very comfortable. Kristen, our host, was always available and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again!

    It was a great property! We were in town to have Christmas with family and our 90 year old Dad. He's in an assisted living apartment, so we can't stay there. So this was perfect to all hang out and cook and enjoy each other's company. We will probably be back next year!

    We had an great stay at Cozy in KC. The house was clean, well-furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We especially loved living room, dining room and spacious kitchen. The location was about a 20 minute drive from downtown KC. While everything was great, just be aware that tv's are older with a fussy remote, but it didn't impact our overall experience.

    Cons - The house did not smell good upon entry. It smelled like sewage. (possibly the non-aerated garbage disposal). I bought a plug-in and placed it in the entry room. It made the house smell nice and welcoming whenever we came and went. The smaller skillets/pans made available for use were badly burned/stained. I was lucky enough to have family living in the area and borrowed a couple of theirs so we could enjoy homecooked meals while utilizing the space. There was no cooking oil. A small one would be nice for a guest to use as would some sponges for those of us who much prefer handwashing dishes. I'm weird, I know. Lol Pros - The house was clean. I especially appreciate that the bathrooms were very clean and well-kept. Softer towels would take it over the top! The water pressure in both bathrooms made for awesome showers. This is an oft overlooked amenity. One can forgive a few shortcomings when the water pressure in the shower is great. The location!!! Within five minutes of family in several directions, the YMCA where we worked out every morning, some good food we discovered in the Waldo area, and the grocery store. The location was perfect. The immediate response I received when there was a problem with the living room TV. The welcome packet and information made available. Conclusion: We had an amazing week at this cottage and plan to make it our KC stay, as I travel here often. Thank you for sharing this home.

    Air-Conditioning was crucial for this time of year and the unit kept 4 ladies of a certain age cool and comfortable. We made use of the 2 lovely sitting areas in the house and were able to sit in the backyard in the mornings. Quite nice! Off street parking was a plus as was easy access to routes around the city.

    4 life long friends spending a few days in KC for a concert at the Starlite theater. We were comfortable and felt at home in this cute cottage. We were visited by a few squirrels (Dicky & Sunshine) and a chipmunk (Stevie) we watched in the backyard from the living room for quite awhile. Shopped and ate at The Plaza one day and in Waldo another day.
