    We loved staying at the Waldo house. The house is so RETRO, whole house clean, bed rooms quaint, the bathroom was big and accommodating (nice hand shower) the kitchen was big and functional. So happy we stayed there and will again since we have family close.

    We had a nice stay in this cute cottage that looked like the pictures on the sight inside. The only reason I ranked location 4/5 was because we are older and this neighborhood may be most attractive to younger visitors. Having said that, it was central to many things we were doing and the restaurants and coffee shops were within walking distance and were excellent too. The hosts communicate very well and were responsive to our needs. We would consider again if in KC. Thanks!

    The home was ok but the location and description of actual external elements of property was misleading.The backyard had a huge old fallen tree that was not pleasant for people or dogs. The neighbors trash 12’ away was piled high and lots of flies swarmed it. And the city was chopping up the street on move in day .The curtains were too sheer and made it uncomfortable to sit in living room at night and the stairs to basement should have warning that they are dangerously steep for anyone.Also silverware was a very low quantity.It

    It was a nice location for us to drive to multiple KC locations. We felt safe and walked the dog on a 6 block grid walk several times a day. The fenced yard was nice but there was a large down tree and mosquitoes inhabiting the yard. Our dog is larger and could have jumped the fence so she was always escorted in the backyard. There were storms in the area, weeks prior. We only used plates, bowls, cups in the kitchen so we can't speak to how well stocked it was for cooking. Beds were comfortable and we use sound machines everywhere we go anyway. We appreciate that the property is dog friendly. When we arrived, the toddler dropped trail mix on the carpet so we vacuumed it up and the vacuum pulled up a lot of dust/other danger and hair and we had just arrived so it wasn't ours. The house is decorated top notch, very cute and trendy. The water and ice dispenser on the fridge do not work and we were unable to ever get the internet working. We messaged owners and they were quick to respond and offer troubleshooting tips. They didn't work and honestly we just looked at our tablet for any tv watching because we were in no stress mode. We hope the internet is resolved for the next guests. Try the coffee shop and pizza nearby (walkable).

    I stayed at the Waldo Walkabout for 9 days while my dad was hospitalized at Research Medical Center. The home was an absolute life saver for me and my family. It is one of the most well stocked rentals I’ve ever stayed in, particularly in the kitchen. It was clean and well maintained and comfortably and beautifully decorated. The location is unbeatable, I could walk to Aldi, Walgreens, multiple restaurants and a gym, and there is a walking/running trail a block away as well. It was a perfect location for a long stay.

    Pros: Good location (can walk to eat, drinks, grocery store, etc.), cute & clean home, comfy beds, responsive host, thoughtful check in packet. Overall this is a good place to stay with another couple or another friend! The house is small, a shotgun style house, which isn’t a bad thing but can be difficult to tell from photos. We did have some things that made our stay less than ideal. The fridge filter water was broken and we needed that for our baby’s bottles, so we headed out to grab bottled water for the weekend. The front room was missing its curtains for the window facing the street which cause the room to be very bright all night from a nearby street lamp. Also there were no Keurig cups provided for the keurig which was a bummer. Lots of added costs for anythjng extra you’d want (early check in, high chairs, etc.) No place is perfect, but the part that left a bad taste for us was when we alerted the host of the issues with the fridge and curtains there was no acknowledgment of the way this would impact our trip or apology, just a response thanking us for letting them know & they’d fix it when we checked out. This property is one of many this hosts owns, which just causes you to miss out on that personal connection/understanding.

    The house is really cute, and has some great furniture pieces. It had a strange smell when we arrived, we all agreed it smelled like dry dog food. Weird. Would suggest some throw blankets available for when watching TV. The beds and pillows were hard, in both rooms. There was a lite blanket and sheets on each bed. Only one extra blanket in the whole house. It was cold and rainy our time in KC. We didn't cook or anything but seemed to be nicely stocked. I was disappointed that KCups weren't provided for the Kruig (I would have brought some), the filter on the water tank needs to be addressed ASAP. Location was great, totally walkable to many restaurants and shops. All n all a great stay! Just get more blankets. Ned and pillows were hard. There was
