3BR 2BA Luxury Historic Loft With Gym by ENVITAE

On the morning of our arrival day, I received an email from Envitae (not a phone call) that the 3BR Loft I had reserved 4 months prior for our group would not be available. The reason given was that Envitae’s acess to the building had been rescinded by the building owner. While I understand that sometimes things just happen, this was incredibly inconvenient timing, and threatened to completely ruin our weekend. It was a busy playoff race, Chiefs home game, and concert weekend. Finding accomodations for a group of 5 would be nearly impossible. The fact that Envitae “suddenly” lost access to a building where the rent multiple lofts probably speaks volumes about the quality of their management and business model. The most disappointing part of the experience was that the only communication I received from Envitae was that initial, last minute email. Not once did they reach out to apologize, or attempt to rectify the difficult situation they put us in. Thankfully, Booking.com stepped in and made things right. With much difficulty we were able to find much less desirable accomodations, and the weekend was saved. However, I HIGHLY recommend that travelers avoid booking any accommodations managed by Envitae.

The location.

The actual residents did not respect the security put into place. It stated do not let anyone walk in; they should input their own info. No one did so we did not feel safe. We were given so many different codes to get into the property and had a tight schedule to keep. It was very inconvenient to not be given the proper info and have to wait for someone to answer an email. The showers were filthy. The master shower looked as though there could have been mold. The arm chairs were filthy. You can tell they have not been cleaned in a very long time.

Very clean, comfortable beds and lots of room as well as a perfect location for our event that was located at the Hy-Vee arena. Very safe and secure building as well.

Parking garage is a bit of a walk with luggage but it’s that way at most locations downtown and we had some issues getting front door open when we first arrived, once we got the fob we had zero problems.
