Traveling through the USA is fun and it’s true that each state has something unique to offer. However, some of them are more popular among tourists than others. Illinois is one of those unappreciated states. Most tourists just go to Chicago and skip the rest of the region, even though there are plenty of destinations worth visiting in the area! One of these great spots is Fairview Heights – the city of fun, games, shopping malls, comedy shows, but also nature and parks!
Plan your trip to discover this part of America – check out these recommended Airbnb vacation rentals in the area and enjoy the peaceful part of Illinois!
1. Downtown loft - Central to everything (from USD 117)
This beautiful loft is located in the center of St. Louis, Missouri, just 20 minutes’ drive from Fairview Heights. All the restaurants, stores and bars are within walking distance. What’s more, you will have the whole space to yourself, as the host doesn’t stay in the apartment – he’s always available on the phone, though.
There is a huge arched window in the living room, which adds a great vibe to the flat and so do the brick walls. The whole space is well designed and will make you fall in love with the place! You can enjoy yourself by watching the TV (Netflix included) or by exercising on the exercise bike. The flat can easily accommodate four people!
