Good to know

Bijou House is located in the heart of Kansas City in an urban neighborhood where you can expect an eclectic mix of people. Please do not book if you do not feel comfortable in an urban environment. One of my favorite things about Kansas City are its old glorious buildings - which is why I fell in love with this 1880 Victorian charmer. This home has seen a lot in it's 100+ years - including it's latest renovation transforming the bathrooms & kitchen into luxury spaces. There are 3 bedrooms, each with 1 bed: Upstairs: 1 King, 1 Queen, Full Bath Downstairs: 1 King, 1/2 Bath A few games and a fun retro arcade are available for those rainy days when you want to stay home. On lovely days, enjoy the cozy backyard oasis with a gas grill for cooking & a gas firepit for relaxing.

Cute older house with vintage touches! Beds were comfortable and we had everything we could have wanted in the kitchen. Our son had a lot of fun with the arcade game! Jaymi was very easy to communicate with & prompt to respond.

One of the best stays I’ve had in KC!! I had an enormous conference event and this location was with in a mile from the event. Literally on the backside of Westport with tons of great restaurants. This place was amazing from the layout and design. The bathroom is amazingly done and with a foot claw tub! The size of this rental was perfect for me and my team. The host was very attentive and we had not concern for safety at any point. We will definitely be renting from them again in the future!

This cute house is a perfect, walkable location to enjoy many restaurants and bars. It’s central location in the city also serves as a great home base for exploring Kansas City. The host was very proactive during our stay, going above and beyond by shoveling snow and providing snowmelt. I would definitely recommend this home.
