Location is great. House is awesome. Appliances were new and plentiful. We could hear beeping from the traffic light outside, but that is expected in a city. Temperature control was great. We loved having a piano. The primary bathroom was amazing.

Large beautiful home with so much potential! We stayed two nights in this home in Independence MO with a group of friends. We ate dinner and walked around in the downtown area on the evening we arrived. Walked the neighborhood and nearby church grounds in the morning and then attended a game at Arrowhead. The house is pretty cool. The kitchen is updated and the porch was a nice spot to sit and enjoy the weather.

Ant problem

The house is beautiful! We enjoyed the space and the kids loved the TV set up and studio in the basement. The kitchen was over run with ants. Not just a couple of ants, hundreds of ants. It made cooking very difficult. They would climb on your knife when you were chopping vegetables or up your leg when standing at the stove. When I contacted the property manager he basically said there was nothing to do about it. Very disappointed.Also, there were only 2 kitchen towels with no others to be found. No extra bath towels either.Overall the house is great, but if they dont get the ants under control it will be very difficult to continue renting it out.
