    Just like home!

    June 02, 2013

    My husband was looking for a place to stay in Kansas City; celebrate our anniversary and run the Hospital Hill Half Marathon, Where can I start? The room was big and we love Luke's paintings; everything felt special and hand picked. We love Luke's breakfast, company, tips on places/things to see in the city and wonderful history lessons. Pedro and Luke made me feel like I was visiting a brother, maybe visiting a cousin...it felt like home! Ask for the cake, you will not be disappointed.... Hey and the house is close to everything!

    Loved this place! So charming. The decor was incredible and our room was stunning and so comfortable. The hospitality was perfect - just the right mix of friendliness and great suggestions of things to do while also giving us our space. We will stay here every time we visit KC!

    A Great Place to Stay Downtown

    February 16, 2013

    We booked this last minute to stay after a concert at Sprint Center. We were pleasantly surprised at the beautiful home. It had lots of character and Luke gave us an interesting tour of the property, explaining its rich history. The service was excellent, and we look forward to staying again.

    A memorable weekend stay

    July 10, 2012

    The innkeepers not only met our needs, but anticipated them. It was a wonderful place to take four families to celebrate a special family birthday. It was just like home only better: Pedro and Luke are gracious innkeepers and the breakfast was fabulous. We could not have asked for more. The rooms were comfortable and interesting. We want to come back. Nancy, Topeka, KS

    We loved everything about this place: Its decor, the friendly staff, the great food, the creative use of space in our room, and the convenient downtown location. This bed and breakfast is something special, and I hope we can go back someday.

    What a gem of a place.

    July 18, 2011

    This was a real find. It is a sparkling jewel in downtown Kansas City. Luke and Pedro were the kindest, fun, interesting, intelligent and most helpful hosts.They made you feel right at home and couldn't do enough to make my stay as comfortable and wonderful as it worked out. The house was brilliantly decorated, the breakfast was top class and the room was as large as a London apartment. Luke makes exquisite omlettes with fresh herbs and a really good cup of tea.[an important requirement for a Brit traveling abroad] The house is within walking distance to the city centre ,which is great , if you do not have a car and the surrounding area has an array of quirky and artsy cafes and pubs and has Art Gallery openings every first Friday of each month with drinks and nibbles.An added advantage to the whole experience of staying at this delectable B and B. I am already planning my next stay here and looking forward to meeting Luke and Pedro again and spending more time with them and learning about Kansas City. Luke knows all the good restaurants and places to visit ,which are many. I hope ,whoever stays here ,has as good a stay as i have had. One last comment, the view of the city is marvellous from the porch and even better from the top floor rooms. Aria, Notting Hill, London, England, U.K

    Every time is better and better

    October 10, 2010

    This was the fourth time I've stayed at this bed and breakfast and the service, cleanliness, and room were outstanding. As always, I feel tremendously welcomed, thought of, and treated with the upmost kindness. Luke is cherry, happy, personable and a vertable guide book for KC MO. Pedro is rock solid, careful of details, and a gentleman in every aspect. I couldn't have gotten along without either of their good will and service. Really, anyone staying in KC, MO has to stay here without a doubt! I recommend it highly and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again and again. EM
