When you travel & stay in an Airbnb - what type of accommodation do you prefer?

Airbnb AccomodationAirbnb Accomodation

Hi everyone, 

 

When travelling and searching for an Airbnb for a perfect staycation, you may come across a variety of listings and property types that you might want to explore. When travelling as a guest, do you go for an entire home or unit to have the place to yourself or prefer to go for an attached or detached apartment that has a private entrance? Or do you prefer shared homes? Do you specifically look for unique stays at rustic cabins or go for a modern apartment, located in the heart of the city? 

 

We would love to hear from our Hosts, what type of accommodation do you prefer when travelling as guests 😉 🏘?

I normally opt for a unique entire property with character.

I like to stay in a self contained place, but be able to interact with host when I need to. Countryside and quiet. But I also like a city break accommodation as long as they have limited amount of noise during the evening while I’m sleeping.

Hi @Cheryl978 , Sounds like a great balance between privacy and interaction. 😉 Do you recall any host interaction during your stay as a guest , that has inspired or impacted your hosting style?

Hi. I tend to look for somewhere with a bit of character - an unusual building if possible. The type of property depends on the where and why I am travelling. A cool city apartment or a quirky woodland base. I like the variety really.

Hi @Helen3106  , It's great to hear that you appreciate unique and character-filled properties. Have you had a chance to stay at a unique stay-house? for eg : rustic cabin in a forest or a glamp? Do you have any specific destinations, you're looking to explore for your next trip? 😉

Hi 👋👋👋 It depends who I'm with and where I'm going. If it's a city break then a city apartment in the middle of everything. If it's for r&R somewhere quiet, away from it all, with private outdoor space and ideally a pool or hot tub. With lots of lovely countryside and maybe a pub

When I’m travelling, I look for unique quirky properties something that’s very different. I find that’s the whole purpose of Airbnb. You can travel all around the world and stay in the most wonderful homes.

Something self-contained, clean and comfortable and walking distance to a beach with a balcony or outside space to sit and sip wine.

Hi @Angela3509 , You've described a dream location for many guests out there, especially during summers🏖 . Such an ideal set up! 

Have you had any memorable stays like you've described? Do you have any favorite beach destinations? Also, when you select a listing near a beach, what other amenities do you think adds value from a guest perspective?
