Since all of SF Shannon’s vacation rental apartments are in the historic core of St. Louis, we occasionally receive the question: “Is it safe?” This question is impossible to answer, because we typically know nothing about the person asking it. The co-owners live within walking distance of each SF Shannon vacation rental. Rachel, Karen and their spouses have raised their families in their respective neighborhoods, and have always felt perfectly safe. WHY THAT NAME?

There is a shared laundry room in the basement at the end of the building, and the interior stairs and fire escape are shared with other guests and residents. If you need us, we're available.
