Airbnb Neighborhood Recommendations

If you prefer to stay at an Airbnb then we recommend looking within Tower Grove South and Tower Grove East neighborhoods as they are walkable to restaurants and coffee shops and are close to Tower Grove Park. If you need any help confirming a location then please feel free to reach out!

Fly into St. Louis at St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL). The airport is about 20 to 25 minutes from St. Louis City. We recommend either taking uber/lyft into the city or renting a car. There is a reliable Metro Link available for those who prefer public transit.

For traveling around St. Louis, car is easiest. Depending on what activities you are interested in, it may be easiest to rent a car.
