Kansas City and its landmarks are more than just a haphazard assortment of appealing history. They’re as much a part of the city’s character as jazz music, historic fountains, or barbecues. From memorials to murals and sculptures, they’re all made in recognition of those who shaped the identity of Kansas City and are symbols of the vitality of the residents and hints of those they’ve lost - each relevant in their own way to the city’s unique culture. If you’re planning a trip here soon, make sure you have the best accommodations. While there are plenty of amazing luxury hotels, consider staying in one of the vacation rentals for a more homey experience. Read on to find the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Kansas City, Missouri.
1. Stylish loft with a convenient location (from USD 38)
No detail has been left out at this charming loft located along the sought-after 39th Street. Upon entrance, you’ll be welcomed by rustic and artsy touches paired with modern indulgences, including free WiFi and a smart TV hooked to Netflix. A comfortable hideaway for solo travelers or couples, the place cradles guests to sleep on a snug queen-size mattress. A third person is also welcome to sleep on the sofa bed.
The central location puts you close to shopping malls, bustling bars, and delectable restaurants, and your host has a handful of recommendations to help you experience the area like a local. But should you wish to savor home-style meals, you can easily whip up your own recipes in the equipped kitchen.

24. Mid-century apartment (from USD 123)
This quaint mid-century apartment is an (updated) piece of history. The apartment features a century-old entrance, which used to be an old Victorian butler’s stairwell/entrance from the 1900s. The home has two bedrooms, a spacious main living space, and bright decor meant to make you feel at home. If you want to explore Kansas City (which I would recommend you do), you are only four blocks away from Nelson-Atkins, Kemper & Arts Institute, a 10-minute walk to Westport, and a 10-minute drive downtown.
