Hi everyone! So glad you stopped by today.
We’ve been using Airbnb for YEARS. It’s so much more affordable than hotels, especially with large families. We simply cannot afford to rent two hotel rooms every time we travel. ESPECIALLY in places like Alaska and Europe where hotels are so dang expensive.
For an Airbnb overview, as well as tips and tricks…you can CLICK HERE and read a post I wrote a few years ago. It should tell you everything you need to know.
Please read the post, but my number one tip is DO YOUR RESEARCH. Read the reviews and look closely at the photos. Only use superhosts if possible.
That said, I want to share my absolute favorite Airbnbs we’ve stayed in the past 5 years.
On top you will see a photo from the listing on the website, and underneath I’ve added a photo I snapped during our time staying in the rental.
Enjoy!
NYC/Chelsea– He’s changed this to a sublet preferred for the summer BUT this is one of my favorite rentals we’ve ever stayed in. It’s STUNNING and safe and in a wonderful location. Did I mention how freaking gorgeous it is??? Swoon.
Puglia / Conversano– If you have ever wanted to stay in an actual trullo, then this listing is for you. We loved every moment. Puglia ended up being one of my favorite places in Italy.
Marina, Croatia– This rental was actual heaven. It was super isolated but you could walk to this amazing beach and we felt so relaxed after we left. It was magical.
Florence, Italy – we went to Florence many times and stayed in many rentals but this was by far my favorite. It’s decadent and soooo Italian. Check out that fresco on the ceiling !
Pontassieve, Tuscany -this house is ancient and has so much character. There’s an actual wishing well, y’all! It’s in an amazing location too. The inside is super old and kind of creepy, but it’s totally worth it for the freaking VIEWS!
Barcelona, Spain– This is an entire freestanding flat right next to Parc Güell. Super modern and affordable and central to so much good stuff. We loved sitting on the rooftop.
Positano, Italy– This is by far my favorite Airbnb that we’ve ever stayed in. It was picturesque and magical and I get teary-eyed thinking about it. I miss Italy so much! n
Honfleur, France (Normandy)– This home was super adorable and quintessential France. If you visit Normandy this town is a must see.
That’s it ! And now I’m officially bit by the travel bug. Off to plan our next Alaskan adventure. Y’all have a beautiful weekend!
xoxo
