NEW-Cozy Haven-near KU Med & Plaza, w/king bed
We came in for the Yankees-Royals game and Becky’s place had everything we needed. It was even better than the pictures. I would stay here again without hesitation and recommend to anyone else needing a place to stay in the KC area!

Great place, perfect location for what we needed. Highly recommended!

Victorian Cottage~Private Patio~Near Downtown
I stayed at Tina’s place with two friends while we were in Kansas City celebrating a birthday, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The home is so cute — beautifully decorated, with every amenity you could need. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, the beds have incredibly comfortable linens, and the bathrooms are well-stocked with thoughtful touches throughout. Tina went above and beyond for us, even accommodating a special request during our stay. The location is great too — several coffee shops within walking distance, close to major areas of Kansas City, and easy parking. Her place feels magical. Highly recommend!

Charming Waldo Reader's Retreat
Great home that’s just as advertised! Beautiful and clean. The location is perfect proximity to the downtown area and the host left great recommendations for places to eat and things to do nearby. Highly recommend.

Charming West Plaza House 2 bed/2 bath
We loved the place and immediately felt right at home. Everything was as described / pictured, and all of the appliances worked perfectly. The back patio and front porch were such relaxing hang-out spots. The house is nice and private yet close to amazing nightlife and restaurants being located so near to Westport. Just an all around beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing stay. This is going in our “must-stay’s” for any trip to KC!

Super cute and quirky old brick home with a great vibe. It’s located in a nice neighborhood and very close to the most awesome art museum. There is tons to do, eat and drink close by. It fit our needs perfectly. The hosts were super friendly, responsive, and helpful.

Updated House in Westport w/ Off Street Parking
Check in was quick. The beds were comfy and everything was super clean. There was a Walgreens nearby so I was able to grab the little things I forgot. I felt like I was at home. The only downside was it was a little noisy. But other than that everything was great! Doordash was able to find the place easy when we ordered food. The washer and dryer were a nice addition. I was able to wash and dry my swimwear before I left.

Sunset House-Near Worlds Of Fun and downtown
Beautiful home in a very quiet little town 5-10 minutes out of Kansas city. Definitely recommend for families who love a nice modern home and that put the safety of their family first when booking.

Close to downtown & stadium, huge yard, RV parking
We enjoyed our stay so much! Christopher’s home was the perfect location for all we wanted to do in KC. It’s easy to find, and was just right for our family gathering. Our doggy was in love with the big fenced in yard. It is an old home with much character and charm, but clean, comfortable and well stocked! The air conditioning worked great, even upstairs was very comfortable in the hot and humid weather we had. We would definitely stay again if the chance arises!

Chateau Waldo - Cuddle-up Charming Home
What a great stay in KC! My sister and I were in town for a weekend and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The pictures and description of the home are accurate and it exceeded our expectations. I especially loved the screened back porch - perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails! Beds were very comfy and we had everything we needed. Scott was wonderful to communicate with and was able to accommodate our request to check-in an hour early. We'll definitely try to reserve this great spot again!

Charming Charlotte Retreat - Close to the Plaza!
Darling and cozy spot. Perfect for the weekend!

KC's Stadium B&B-Royals-Chiefs-Pickleball-Fenced

Charming Basement Oasis
This is the second time we’ve stayed at their Airbnb in four months. If we could stay there every month, we went to Overland Park we would lol. Very well maintained, has all the amenities, you could actually live in this place because it has it all.

City Sky Lux DT King Bed Apartment No Cleaning Fee
Rob and Brenda’s place was the perfect place to stay for a downtown KC getaway. You can’t beat the location, and the views from the apartment are great. Although check in was somewhat complicated (like any downtown apartment would be), Brenda and Rob had very clear instructions with photos so we were able to get in seamlessly. Would stay here again!

Perfectly Located Carriage House Apartment
My friends and I loved staying here. We had stayed for a week to celebrate a birthday and the place was very cozy and clean. The furnishings were great, and our hosts were very receptive and friendly. They had even gotten a bonfire started in the fire pit for us so we could enjoy their lovely patio in the back yard. The location is safe and walkable, with a restaurant plaza within walking distance full of great options. For the price, location, and all of the amenities, this place is a gem to say at, and Brian and Kari were gracious hosts who made sure we stayed comfortable for the entire stay. Would highly recommend!
