We took our first Airbnb trip back in 2014, a stay in Paris in a beautiful rooftop apartment, up in the eaves with a staircase so steep, but so beautiful because Paris!, that we felt like we were burning off the croissants. We kept hearing about this cool new app to book accommodation and it was our first foray into how it all worked. We loved it and since then have used Airbnb for almost every trip we’ve taken. It’s such a great way to feel like you’re living like a local. Often they’ll be situated in quieter, more residential neighbourhoods where you get to see a different side to the tourist parts of where you’re staying. They’ll offer more space than a hotel room for less money {most of the time!}. If you like to self cater for some of your trip, like we do then it can make it fun to go to the local supermarket or find a market and cook some dinners or prepare breakfast. Again, saving money and giving a different experience. {it depends, of course, on what kind of trip you’re after. Sometimes you might just want a hotel stay with fluffy gowns and no food shopping/cooking to worry about! But for longer stays it can be more beneficial}. We use airbnb for most trips that we go on and whenever I share them on Instagram/in blog travelogues, I always get messages from people asking how to find the best ones so I thought I'd share a guide with some things we've learned over the past few years;
