Wonderful Stay!

We were in town for just a couple of days for a short getaway and had a great stay here! The home was close to so much to do. This home is so spacious, cozy, and clean, and they even left a welcome gift of treats for our two pups who were with us. We had an excellent stay here and absolutely recommend it to others!

Perfect Location and Comfortable Home

This location was perfectly suited for our group which included myself, husband, and grown son and two other extended family members. It was a short walk to our daughter's house, allowing us all to gather for the holidays. It has a nice view of the park and is also a short walk to the Art Museum, shopping and restaurants. The kitchen/dining area was perfect for us to host the family for breakfast and dinner; beds were super comfy - we couldn't have asked for a better stay!

Great location

We had a great stay at this home in KC. It was very clean and had plenty of space for my family of 5 plus a set of grandparents that came to visit us while we were there. The house was 20 minutes or less from everything we wanted to do: Nelson art museum, zoo, Lego land, Kauffman stadium, science city, ww1 memorial, the baseball museum…everything! Great location. We would stay there again!

Comfortable Property

Our family of 6 were very comfortable in this house. It was just as pictured in the listing and very clean. The bedrooms were spacious, and the beds were comfortable. The property manager does a great job of communicating, and when we had a problem with one of the toilets, someone was there in less than 2 hours to fix it. I would highly recommend renting with Cozy in KC.

House was great, but neighborhood was sketchy.

House is very nice inside and beautifully remodeled. Host was very responsive with an inquiry we had during our stay. A couple of the bedrooms upstairs were a bit hot and could use window units. Neighborhood wasn’t the greatest. At one point there was a homeless man hanging around across the street.
