Before I say what I want to say, the house is great - perfect for a large group, clean, tidy, etc. For these reasons, the home was great for our weekend, subject to my comments below.
The listing says this is "close to art museum" and "plaza." While this is somewhat true (within a half mile of both), there is some deception going on here. The house actually sits on Troost Avenue (known as one of the more dangerous roads/areas in KC) - something I believe every renter should be aware of - and frankly, I think withholding that fact from people traveling into KC with their family, likely not having an idea of the neighborhoods/roads, and all while paying good money should not be allowed under any circumstance by VRBO. With all of that being said, we had a car broken into and stolen on our first night. A police report was filed the next morning and the car was located down Troost Ave. two mornings later - totaled. Now clearly that isn't the homeowner's fault - however, it's their fault for leading us to believe we were booking a home - non-refundable may I point out - "close to art museum/plaza" and/or in "south hyde park."
Therefore, beware of location. It's a great, spacious home INSIDE, which is all on par with how it is advertised. The outside, however, including primarily the location of the home, is not as advertised. I was stunned to find no similar reviews warning others of this very issue.
