I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and I love photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world! Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream.

For those of you who grew up in the ’80s, you may be familiar with VHS tapes, Atari, and classic films like “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and “Back To The Future.” If you are nostalgic for this era when life was much simpler, and perhaps a bit stranger, there’s a retro-themed Airbnb in Illinois you should to stay at. And it’s a blast from the past in all the right ways!
Welcome to the Fun Retro Apartment located in downtown Rockford. While close to all the action offered in town, with all the nostalgic memorabilia and games, you may just want to use this as a little hideout and stay in.
When you first enter, you may feel as though you've transported to your youth. With '80s movie posters, a tube TV, VHS tapes, and more, it's certainly a throwback.
And do you remember playing Atari when you were young? Well, this apartment cones equipped with an Atari 5200 for you to use. Why not play a classic game of Pac Man during your stay?
Take out and play one of the retro games like Jenga, Hangman, or Hungry, Hungry Hippos. You'll probably feel like a kid again with all the fun you'll have!
It's not all fun and games, though. You've gotta sleep sometime, right? Able to accommodate up to three guests, there is one bedroom, an office with a futon, and one bathroom in this retro apartment.
There is also a kitchen in this Airbnb that's equipped with an air fryer/toaster, an induction burner, microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge with a freezer.
