A personal welcome
Welcome to KC Stay!
You're staying in a classic Kansas City craftsman on a corner lot near 35th & Wyoming: a deep covered front porch, two living rooms, a fireplace and a big, private yard.
It's set up for living, not just visiting, with a real kitchen, a new washer and dryer and a dedicated workspace with fast Wi-Fi. 39th Street's restaurants are a short stroll away, and Westport, the Plaza and the Crossroads are minutes by car.
I'm David Swanson, your host. Whether you're here for a week or a few months, I'm close by and happy to help with anything at all.
“Make yourself at home in one of KC's classic neighborhoods.”
