What makes your listing location truly special?

14669734_40 (1).jpg

 

Hi everyone!

 

While booking for a stay, guests often look into the listing location — whether it's surrounded by scenic beauty (mountains or lakes), nearby local attractions or if your listing is located in the heart of the city.  

 

I'm really curious to hear from our hosts — whether it's a stunning view, rich local culture, or hidden gems that only locals know about! What is special about your listing location? 

 

Looking forward to reading your comments 😍

 

Kind regards,
Bhumika

Sandown is special with its panoramic sea view, total privacy, short path to the beach, and sea-view barbecues.

I had a sneak peek at your listings and amazed to see that you host multiple properties 😍@Hilary279 . How do you manage these many listings?

 

Sea view definitely sounds like a serene experience! 🌊 Do guests usually mention the panoramic sea view in their reviews as well?

My listing is in a centuries old town with a history of eras, with many historical structures still standing. This is great for history buffs. My listing is coastal and fabulous for water sports buffs, fishing boats, kayaking, boat tours, SUP fans. It's also a scenic spot for hiking, biking... a variety of eateries (casual and fine), many beaches, sunset views from bluffs or the sand, and great for simply relaxing as well. Shopping? OK. Drinks at the Marina? Absolutley. I thinks it's wonderful because the area has a wonderful variety of to-do's and to-see's... 😉

There's quite a bit of history... one fun fact is that Lagos was at the center of the Portuguese Age of Discovery. One of my favorite historical structures is the centuries old fortress wall just hanging out, wrapped around much of it's historic center filled with residents and the buzz of residents and tourist alike enjoying the cobblestone streets, shops, cafes and restaurants, etc.

Thanks so much for sharing @Dani12527It’s fascinating to hear about Lagos' rich history and the fortress wall. I googled the picture and the fortress is intriguing! 😍

What are some must-visit cafes or restaurants near the historic center that you recommend for experiencing the local culture to guests?

That's definitely a loaded answer... honestly, there are quite a few that I recommend. I use Touchstay as a digital guidebook that I send my guests in which I have an ample supply of suggestions and recommendations that I fully support. Not just cafes' and restaurants but activities, history, markets, recreation, etc...

Thank for you question.

 

About location:

 

- Our hotel is located in the 24/7 Grand World entertainment complex, with Long beach, Venice river, Vietnamese quintessence, Vinwonder, Safari...

- In particular, the hotel is located on a road that can pick up guests and park cars at the hotel gate. Because many hotels in this area are located in the inner area, vehicles cannot take guests to the hotel gate.

Hi @Nguyen151 , your hotel location sounds fantastic!

 

Do guests often mention in their reviews how your listing is located in a vibrant entertainment complex?

 

What unique experiences or attractions within the Grand World complex do you recommend for first-time visitors?

 

Do you often receive guests who are keen to have wedding photo shoots at such a beautiful location with vibrant colors?😍

We truly love the location of our lakeview home.  We are so close to shopping and historical downtown Granbury yet tucked away is a quiet relaxing neighborhood.  Our backyard has the front row seats to the most amazing sunsets.  You can sit and just relax all day long while enjoying all the activities on Lake Granbury.
