Decent stay for the price
Good communication with property owner, but missing some useful items such as extra toilet paper in the bathrooms and hand soap at the sinks. Just make sure to bring absolutely everything you need because there’s not any extra stuff like toothbrushes , conditioner etc. it was a good price for the space, but also be mindful there’s an attached apartment to the top floor that I didn’t know when I booked and made me very uneasy with my teen daughters staying with me. They didn’t cause any ruckus, but I wouldn’t have booked if I had known that.

Down Town Vrbo
VRBO was centrally located to where I needed to travel during my stay. Nice location so I didn't have to travel far to any stores or locations. Plenty of Room in the VRBO. Pretty Quiet neighborhood. There were some people across the street that made some noise at 3 in the Morning. Other than that house was accommodating for what was needed. Owner was friendly. Would recommend if someone has events planned in down town Wichita

Ideal location!
We moved our daughter into Friends university and this home was conveniently located minutes from the university. It was actually convenient to everything we did that weekend. Blocks away from great food and entertainment. The house was well prepared for guests and comfortable to relax in between moving her in and exploring the area. We will definitely be back for our visits with her.

Not returning
The host responded when we need just about anything. We did find some bugs and he came and sprayed. He was very helpful and attentive. However, shelves in the kitchen were dirty and the entire facility needed a deep clean. We probably won’t be back overall. It was a good day. The host was attentive to our needs and we appreciate that. It’s an older house. There are apartments that are in the upstairs back end of the building, which we were not aware of. He did also open up an additional room for us, which gave us additional room and it listed a game room which evidently does not exist.

Our Experience
This was our experience while we stayed here. The AC control wasn't given to us on the first day. After asking the owner about the AC on day two, he gave us control. On the third day, the AC went out due to being frozen, but the owner let us stay in another section of the rental property to alleviate the heat, which was very kind. On the first night, Thursday, nothing eventful happened. On the second night, Friday, a woman knocked on the door around 10 or 11pm, leaned up against the door for about 5 minutes, then knocked again. She then walked across the street in a hunched over position and talked to someone in a vehicle, then sat on the sidewalk near the house for 15 minutes or so, then left to another street. The third night, Saturday, a man knocked a couple time on the door at 1:30 in the morning. You can hear through the front window of the house, which is near the front door, and I heard him say "I'm going to unload on someone on this block" as he walked off the porch. The house is quite a bit older than it looks in the photos. Also, the description reads that there is a futon, which is supposed to be a couch that turns into a bed, however, the futon here, is just a couch. It is the couch in the photo of the living area.

Family fun for Thanksgiving
We were looking for a space that was centrally located for family who lives in the Wichita area, that could comfortably sleep my family and my sister's family (6 total), as well as host a Thanksgiving dinner for over 16 people. This place was perfect. It had 4 bedrooms, 2 dens with comfy couches/lounge chairs and tvs, 2 full kitchens, 2 dining tables and 3 bathrooms, so there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The furnace worked great, for a large house it was surprisingly comfortable. The water was hot for showers and dishes, everything was clean and well stocked. We didn't have to ask for anything. The dart board and foos table were the highlight of Thanksgiving, and we had a fun tournament. The host was wonderful and responsive to all inquiries. We had a small mishap with a dish that was provided by the VRBO, and he was very gracious about the incident and did not require any extra payment or replacement. There was a snowstorm the night before we had to leave, and the host shoveled the walkway before we were set to pack up and leave. Overall, we were all very pleased with this home and host, and if we are in the area again, we will be requesting to stay here. Highly recommend.

We went there for a Father’s Day golf weekend. The place was perfect for the four of us. Close to old town restaurants. Nice lounging area where we relaxed after our round of golf to sit and watch the US Open. Just one minor detail - Stove was missing a burner. But all in all it was great to stay!

You don't always get what you pay for
We travel with dogs, which is the biggest reason we chose this place for our stay. As it turns out, the "yard" is shared with another apartment tenant who also has a dog. Not ideal for what we were looking for. The landlord lives two doors down, so you're definitely being watched the entire time you're there. I personally don't like being confronted in the front yard immediately upon arrival. He was quick to respond to texts, so I'll give him that. The house itself was dirty, like it had not been cleaned in a while. Plaster was falling off the ceiling in two bedrooms, directly above the beds - a definite safety issue The whole house smells musty. I get it, it's an old house, but not my cup of tea. We rented this house for 4 nights, but left to find another rental after being here for 30 minutes. So in this case, we did not use what we paid for.
