Very good

Small bungalow, great location. Only downsides street parking and the stairs from the curb are steep and the walkway long. Ok if everything rolls, not so great if you have to carry it. Again, great location!

Cozy indeed

Great little tiny home close to downtown. We utilized the public transit a lot of the time as it was free. Two great coffee shops in walking distance. Quiet neighborhood. Host was easy to chat with. Would recommend!

Cozy in KC is the best!

This was our third consecutive stay at a Cozy in KC property. We love Cozy in KC. The properties are in great locations, they are always clean, always charmingly decorated, and the prices are fair, from base rates to pet fees. They do all the little things - from toiletries (and plenty of them) that we might need, to prompt communications, to little touches like dog bowls, rugs and treats. We will only stay at Cozy in KC properties, given a choice.

Just what we needed!

Well appointed, well decorated small home in a quiet neighborhood that we rented while we had the floors of our KC home refinished. Had everything we needed and everything went very well!
