Country Club Plaza: A Kansas City Landmark
History:
Designed as the nation’s first suburban shopping district built for cars, the Plaza was the vision of developer J.C. Nichols. Inspired by the architecture of Spanish marketplaces, Nichols began transforming swampy land in 1907. By 1922, the first Plaza buildings opened—earning the area the nickname “Nichols’ Folly.” Today, the Plaza is renowned for its Moorish-style architecture, cobblestone streets, and more than $1 million in public artwork, including fountains, murals, and over 30 statues.

Home to 30+ restaurants and 17 outdoor patios, the Plaza offers something for every craving and budget. Whether you’re after Kansas City staples or trendy new eateries, you're covered.

Great location, comfortable apartment

In KC on a book tour, I wanted a safe spot centrally located, since I had appointments in all directions. This place was perfect. I was one block from the nearest diner, a few more blocks from coffee, 1/2 mile to Whole Foods. Parking was no problem. Bonus: The Nelson art museum's grounds are across the street. Loose Park is within walking distance. The unit itself was very comfortable, clean, and well equipped. The elevator wasn't working, but that information was communicated both before and after booking, and the walk up to the fourth floor was good exercise. The kitchen was well stocked, including four types of coffeemaker! The bed was comfortable, as was the sofa. Sheets and towels very nice. Livingroom was also comfortable for lounging and working. The unit has air conditioners, but I was comfortable sleeping with the windows open. Inside, the building is very quiet - I never heard any noise from the other units. Street traffic can be a bit noisy at night with windows open.

Beautiful Condo

The condo is beautiful, well decorated, well supplied. The listing does say the elevator is broken but it should also be noted that the stairs are precarious. They are old and have outdated handrails that are lower than normal. It is very difficult to maneuver up them with luggage. The listing states there is plenty of parking in the streets but our experience is this is not true. I ended up having to park in a no parking zone, there was nothing within 3 blocks of the building. This condo is best for someone who did not bring their own car.

KC experience

Photos of property were highly edited. Access was questionable at best. Stairs are fine. But limit your adventures coming and going 52 steps altogether. Bathroom needs some attention. No exhaust fan. And missing caulk around tub somewhat dingy? I guess that is the experience I paid for. I would not recommend

Actual unit is good

The actual unit is very clean and comfortable. The bed was comfortable and linens and towels were good. The street parking and walking up the awkward stairs wasn’t the best, I would have expected better for the price we paid.

Great space!

We had a great time at The Nelson condo. It was a good location to launch from as we revisited our favorite Kansas City spots. And the space is cute and functional. Despite some difficulty with road construction for the streetcar expansion, and the inconvenient outage of the elevator, we were happy with our pick for staying in KC for a long weekend. And lastly, there were a few minor issues upon arrival, but the property manager had a maintenance person there to address the issues within hours of being informed by us. We definitely appreciated that responsiveness!

Beautiful apartment in a fantastic location

If you're looking for the perfect stay in Kansas City, then look no further - this place has it all. The location is great - there are some lovely coffee shops, bars and restaurants a short walk away. You're also right next to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art which is not only amazing (and free) to go into, but also has stunning gardens around it. The apartment itself is great - has all the amenities you need. Comfy couch. Good TV in the living room and bedroom etc. Comms with the host was perfect. Only issue is the elevator was out, but we knew that ahead of booking and while it's on the 4th floor it takes seconds to walk it. Loved Kansas City. Loved this VRBO. Will definitely be back again!

Aside from the elevator problem positive. Maybe my checkin problem but the apartment just what was needed in comfort ad facilities Please all notice the wonderful Museum nearby. That in combination with nearness to other Kansas City jazz and food very nice indeed The warnings about parking challenges on weekends appreciated but unnecessary and the circular drive allowed drop off luggage in any case. Recommend .

Near the Plaza

We needed to be near the plaza for food three times, for long morning walks on Bush Creek and for the Nelson Atkins. We did not have time for Shakespeare in the Park but the Tempest was playing every evening nearby. The apartment on floor four was very enjoyable and super well stocked. Whole Foods grocery is nearby. Parking on the street no problem even while Tempest was on.

Great Location - Inaccurate Listing

Just a few blocks from the plaza this spot if great for a weekend getaway! While it was thoughtfully decorated and well appointed the reason we did not give 5 stars were due to cleanliness (debris on the couch when we arrived, broken bedside lamp with broken edges above the light bulb exposed right next to the bed) and the $35 fee to register on Superhog (if you are not already registered on the Superhog app) for ID verification not being included in the property listing, but being required by the property management firm. We learned about this additional fee 24 hours prior to check-in, so we had pretty limited options to find another booking for the same weekend.
