The pictures does not match the actual conditions of the property. The pictures depicted a cute clean area. When we pulled in it was a duplex, weeds over grown in the front. There is a family living in the back unit and thr backyard looks like junk. We walked in amd there are soooo many pillows and blankets everywhere! It has a cozy but overwhelming effect. There was trash on the front porch, an older cooler and boom box. There was aplenty of food stocked however many of the items had been opened and left. Old soap and body wash and a razor in the bathroom. There was stuff just shoved and piled everywhere. And more throw pillows and blankets! I sat on the front porch swing and the back came out causing me to flip backwards hit my head, and shoulder on the brick wall and as soon as I was recovered I messaged the host and all we got was I will send someone to fix it. The family thay lived in thr other unit was so loud my son had to sleep in the living room. I never felt unsafe but Saturday night our whole family were woken up by multiple gunshots in the distance. We slept there only for the most part but it was not whay we expected.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify a few points for future guests. Our listing clearly describes the property as two separate units: an upstairs unit and a downstairs unit, each with its own private entrance, kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, living room, and laundry facilities. The presence of another family in the separate unit is disclosed in the property description and is not a shared living arrangement.
Regarding the front porch swing, we sincerely apologize for the incident and any discomfort or injury you experienced. We took your report seriously and immediately arranged for a maintenance worker to address the issue. Unfortunately, the repair was delayed by one day due to an unexpected family emergency involving our maintenance worker. We apologize for the delay and inconvenience.
We also take the safety and comfort of our guests very seriously and always do our best to maintain a safe and welcoming environment. Unfortunately, noise from the surrounding area and unexpected neighborhood disturbances are beyond our direct control.
We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve the property and the guest experience. We strive to provide an accurate listing, a clean and comfortable environment, and responsive customer service. We regret that your experience did not reflect the stay we work hard to provide and wish your family all the best

We enjoyed our stay a lot. The property is cute and well maintained. It was also close enough to the highway that it was very easy to get to downtown KC. We would definitely recommend it.
Place was close to my appointments. It was a quick weekend, and a pleasant stay. Very clean and comfortable. Host was quick to reply and friendly; very helpful. Everything was well documented.
I would stay here agsin
We came up to KC for a baseball weekend. I picked this house because the location showed very near the stadium. It took us 7 minutes to get there, can't beat that! Very easy to get around to other places in the area. Enjoyed our stay and will add this house to places to stay while we are in town.
This was a cozy warm older home that reminded you of going home to grandma for Christmas. It was very clean and warm and fully stocked with things you need and extra. The host goes out of their way to accommodate. We loved it and will definitely go back!!! Friendly friendly people. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

To many decorations make the property looks like dirty and the bed too hard like it concrete smells like old house
The host is on top of all request you have of him. Very personable.
This place is perfect for my husband and I. It is very centrally located to anywhere you would like to go in the greater Kansas City area. Very clean and comfortable. A great place to relax after a long day with the family at Christmas. We love this place, we Will be back!! Thank You William for a great experience and place to stay.
In general the property was good and as listed. We had one issue on check in, when we arrived at 5:15pm the house was still being cleaned. It didn't affect us much, as we just left our things and left, but if we had needed to get in immediately it could have caused an issue.

The front yard was in serious need of yard work. Shrubs and plants overgrown. Doesn't look like the picture. The porch furniture was old and dusty.The house needs serious work. It appears caulk and paint is as good as it gets.The furniture and decor appear to have come from a fleamarket.Every floor board in the house creeks.I could go on and on. I wouldn't recommend this place at all.

Thank you for your feedback. The yard has been cleaned, and we apologize that our maintenance technician was unexpectedly ill and unable to address it as quickly as usual. We always aim to keep the home well-maintained for every guest. We understand that furniture and decor preferences can vary, and we're sorry that the style of the home did not match your personal taste. Our property is designed to be comfortable, clean, and functional for travelers, but guests who prefer a luxury hotel experience may feel more suited to premium brands such as Hilton or Marriott. We appreciate your comments and will continue working to provide a positive stay for all future guests.

Not as seen on VBRO
The location looked nothing like it was advertised on VBRO. The location was old, outdated and furniture was covered in blankets and curtains are red and the house feels dark and unwelcoming. It was not to the standard I am accustom to with Vbro

The house is equipped with numerous light fixtures throughout, so there's plenty of potential lighting. However, I didn't turn them all on and found the interior to be quite dark as a result. Also, the couch is currently covered with a protective cover, but it's only temporary. Feel free to remove it when you arrive to enjoy the seating area fully.

Always Room for Improvement
The place was essentially as viewed; there were throws on all of the furniture. The outdoor sitting (front porch) was not clean enough for sitting and the home does smell like an old house. The property owner was very pleasant however, he appeared 1 day before our check date to clean the property. I rushed out to accommodate him. I just arrived home and believe that I forgot some important items.Overall I would say this is a good place to stay with a kind owner. However, be aware of communicating clearly. While I

Suggestions
We have property on VRBO, so I am familiar with listing.
I would not use a sweet smelling spray in that house. I opened windows to air it out.
I would also take every single thing off of that front porch and power wash it and leave it that way. A couple of nice outdoor chairs would be fine but nothing else. Take the trash cans and put them in the back.
These two things alone would make your place more appealing.
The property was pretty cluttered/junky inside and out, but the decor was kinda cute in a maximalist way. The house smelled funky and many elements of the decor had clearly not been cleaned or dusted in ages. It smelled and looked like a flea market. The kitchen dishes & soaps were fairly dirty/nasty. Bathroom was decent. Plenty of paper and linen supplies to use.Communication with the host was very poor. I struggled to get into the lockbox at first and messaged the host, who did not respond right away. I got it figured out on my own, and a few hours later, the host responded with their direct number.Noise was a big problem. The house was split, with the other kitchen & laundry being directly behind one of the downstairs bedrooms. You could hear toilet flushing, machines and water running day or night from the other guests. The water usage in the other part of the house will also affect the water temperature in the lower part of the house. Our main problem was the upstairs guests, who were drinking, yelling, and blasting music all night long. Literally all night, from 10 pm to 5 am. I reached out to the host at 1:45 am and again at 6 am, and got no response. Poor communication, no enforcement of rules, disturbance from other guests, unkempt property. Will not return.
I wasn't going to write a review but I have not heard if I will receive a refund as I was told i would. There is a very large storage area attached to the advertised vrbo with lots of items in it, a basement. I am 96% sure there was a squatter in there. I was originally going to stay about 2 weeks. After a snake jumped out at me in the laundry room though a hole in the floor i still stayed until the next day when i left for a few hours and came back to the clock on the microwave and on the oven being set to correct time. I know this had not been done when i left. Felt like this kind of stuff was happening the whole time and this was too much! I stayed about 7 days. I feel like the storage area should have been locked off from the rest of apt. I have been going on vacay alone since i was 18. Never been scared like that and I am from this area originally.

Thank you for your feedback. We want to clarify that there are absolutely no squatters living in the house, including the basement. The property is monitored by security cameras at the building’s entrance, and we have reviewed the footage to confirm that no unauthorized individuals have entered the premises during your stay. Regarding the garden snake you reported entering the laundry room, we addressed the issue promptly and sealed the hole as soon as we were informed. We take all guest concerns seriously and remain committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment.
