About this apartment rental

A gorgeous vintage apartment with new appliances, full kitchen, high speed internet and remodeled bath. Not one but two striking outdoor spaces—a deck and balcony with amazing views of downtown KC.

Near everything downtown KC with great views of the Crossroads arts district. Dozens of venues are walkable and uber-able: the Convention Center, Kauffman, restaurants, music, bars, light rail line and lots more. Book this highly-reviewed loft now!

Space
You'll be staying in a lovingly restored third-floor loft apartment with a spacious living/dining room, full kitchen, gorgeous bedroom and newly remodeled bath. The bedroom features a private walk-out porch in the treetops and the enormous full-size deck off the kitchen serves up stunning downtown views.

Guest access
You'll have the key code to unit 3N, which takes up half the third floor and is otherwise known as the "White Owl." Also, not to be overlooked—the basement laundry room. (Request the code if needed.)

Guest interaction
We may or may not not meet face to face, but I'm typically close by and happy to offer tips and recommendations on the local arts and food scene, especially all things related to indie music, coffee culture, craft cocktails and beer.

Neighborhood overview
You likely already know. But if not: You'll be in the heart of downtown Kansas City, which is enjoying an urban renaissance reflected in painting and music and dance and architecture, yes, but also in local breweries, bistros, cocktails and coffee. It's a fun time to be here and you'll be in the middle of it. You'll be within walking distance to everything (slight exaggeration, but not a big one). Two blocks from the Kauffman Performing Arts Center. Dozens of galleries, bars and restaurants around the corner. Under a mile to Liberty Memorial, Crown Center, Union Station, the Sprint Center, the College Basketball Experience, and the Power and Light District. If you're looking for a home base for your downtown Kansas City adventure, this is it.

Noise Note
This is a neighborhood with noise expectations, not a spot for parties or events. No shouting, fighting, honking horns, loud music, etc. Common sense stuff.

Just So You Know...
Depending on the route you take to arrive, your first impression of my neighborhood may not be awesome (a couple guests have mentioned this)—the city has some delayed maintenance to do on a highway ramp and several sidewalks, and there are a couple ugly buildings slated for redevelopment. But have no fear! This area is highly sought after and once you arrive, you'll see why (guests mention this too)—your loft is right in the middle of KC's downtown renaissance. So no worries.

Getting around
A lot of your destinations will be within walking distance if you're working or playing downtown. Light rail runs downtown, and Bike Share KC rentals are available nearby, as well as a comprehensive bus system. Uber is popular around here as well. You'll have free street parking at our location, a quiet residential boulevard just around the corner from all the action.

Other things to note
I supply clean sheets, towels, an equipped kitchen, and all basic amenities as well as high speed internet, a blue tooth music player, and smart tv (no cable). If you have questions about specific items, feel free ask.

If you're still reading, well done!—and one more thing. I clean this loft thoroughly after every stay, and I'm a conscientious guy—think vacuuming, spraying, scrubbing, etc. However, this unit is 100 years old, and the floors show it. When you're writing your review, I'd love to get a 5 star "clean" rating, so make sure the building's nicks and paint marks don't give you a false impression of dirt. It's tricky that way.

AJ described everything accurately from the description of the loft to the neighborhood, it is all laid out. I, however, came in like a bit of a really tired tornado thinking i had booked my stay beginning a day before it actually began & even forgot to pay the other payment before i arrived. AJ messaged me the next morning & let me check in early, after that final payment of course. He was really quite understanding of my late night panic. The loft is in the heart of my old neighborhood & it was really wonderful staying there for a few days. It is exactly what I lived in as a twenty-something exploring the city with my friends every night. & the city view from the back porch is an awesome view of downtown/the crossroads/union station/ww2 memorial.

Place is clean and location to downtown was great. Balcony view was awesome! Our favorite spot to hang out. Building is older, floors super squeaky and loud. Owner did a good job with what he had to work with in regards to remodeling. AJ was responsive to emails/ texts. Just overall was not really what I was anticipating.

Very clean and nostalgic property perfectly located for those wanting to enjoy the KC area. AJ was quick to respond to questions we had and was very accommodating to requests we made. The only negatives would be the size of the TV compared to the size of the common area and the mattress. Would have chosen 4.5 stars if available.

This condo was well equipped and the location was great for people who have activities to attend downtown. It's only a 12 minute walk to the convention centre and there are several good restaurants along the way.

Good location for exploring Crossroads District
Good location for exploring Crossroads District
This apartment is as advertised re walkability, minimalist décor, convenience to downtown KCMO and Crossroads Arts District with MUCH to do & see. Streetcar is a really nice amenity - runs very regularly, stops nearby, makes it easy to get from one end of the District to the other, esp if weather's not great. Apartment was reasonably quiet with windows closed (urban neighborhood - which we love and live in ourselves so 'city noise' comes with the territory) and reasonably comfortable, with nice views off both balconies. Parking in front was always available, convenient. AJ was able to accommodate our early check-in & was available/responsive via text. Bed was comfortable, HVAC good. Tiny kitchen, only the most basic utensils & cookware + fairly good walk to get to a grocery store, so not particularly condusive to cooking. That said, there are many good/interesting restaurants within walking distance and if you have a car, even better. Probably best for a couple. All in all, good place to spend 5 days reacquainting ourselves with the downtown KC area.
