Second floor property that served our needs well. There are a couple of hazards that are concerning (stairs leading to the property are a little wobbly and wooden treads are bowed so make sure you watch your step, & metal transition strip by exterior door in kitchen is installed in a way that leaves a dangerously sharp exposed cut edge that could easily cost you a trip to the hospital) but overall the place was as advertised.

Great stay for two

My son and I were in town for a basketball tournament. This was a great property for the two of us. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood and only 30-35 minutes from the basketball games. It gave us much more privacy than a hotel. Damon was always accessible and tremendously professional and courteous in his replies.

Nice, Quiet Property

I stayed here for six days to attend the Big 12 Basketball Tournament. The property is as described, and the rooms are large. It is easy to locate a couple of blocks off the square in Independence. For warmer weather , the Square is a short walk with shopping, restaurants and breweries. The area is clean and seems safe. It is an easy 15-20 min drive to T-Mobile. Host was prompt the 2 times I contacted him. If availailable next year, I will book again.
