"We enjoyed the Kansas eclectic decor with fun vintage items. We were happy to have comfortable spaces to sit and visit. Kitchen nicely appointed- had the tools and dishes we needed when we “dined in.” We appreciated having the room fans to gently supplement the AC. Good to have plenty of towels both kitten and bath. Our host Ed was quite responsive and helpful."
