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.

We had a wonderful stay at Jaymi’s place, and it was spotless. It is very walkable to anywhere in Westport. The Nelson-Atkins Museum and other local attractions are a 10 minute drive or less. Same with the nearest KC Streetcar parking to head into downtown. Once the streetcar route is finished expanding (late 2025) you could walk or transit anywhere that isn’t a sporting event. Jaymi was a wonderful host and would absolutely stay again the next time we are in KC!

Absolutely amazing stay. Jaymi was our favorite host out of all of our stays during our family cross country road trip. Excellent communication, super helpful and friendly. The house is gorgeous and comfortable, and we loved that there was individual air conditioners in each of the rooms. Will definitely stay at again when back in the area!
