Appartamento Fefé
Fefé was absolutely amazing! She was the best host you can ask for, communication was so on point. She gave me the best recommendations for all the places. Her place was spotless. Super super safe and secure as well! Very minimal steps to get to her place. My only call out would be it can get a little loud at night as her place is right above the port and a bar but Fefé has you covered with complimentary ear plugs. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Nicoletta Ammoudi Suite A
We spend one week here for our honeymoon and it was the best decision we made! The apartment was stunning, and in the perfect location. Christina was great to communicate with and incredibly helpful. 10/10 we will definitely be back!

WONDERFULPORTO TERRACE
The apartment was perfect for us and was exactly as described and spotlessly clean. Maria and Sergio welcomed us on arrival and gave us recommendations of where to visit and restaurants to try. The apartment is a great location within walking distance of the main sights (beware the steep hills of Porto!); the highlight of our days however was coming back to enjoy a drink on the wonderful terrace with its views of the Douro river. We would highly recommend this gorgeous apartment - thank you Maria and Sergio!

Story Flat Lisbon - Alfama III
The apartment is located inn a great area - Alfama. The hike to get to the unit was tough especially when I went in the wrong direction from the train station, but Pedro was patiently waiting there for us. After our hike to get there, completing the 68 steps to the unit was a breeze. LOL The view is spectacular and saw cruise ships coming and going every day. The unit was clean, comfortable. I had issues with the TV but did not go to Lisbon to watch TV. I was connected to the Wi-FI but not the internet, which was fine as my phone did the work for me and I was not working online. Ann and Rita Have created a special space and were are grateful for the accommodations. They did a tasteful job with the decor. I would definitely recommend the unit to anyone. Great job. Love LISBON Kevin and Julie

Modern sea front jacuzzi Blue Sky
We had a wonderful 6 days in this incredible apartment! Perfect location to explore Alicante, particularly as there’s a tram stop a couple of minutes walk away, as well as a beach to pop to for a morning dip! The apartment is even lovelier than in the photos and we loved spending time there (and in the hot tub on the roof terrace) looking out at the beautiful sea and mountain view.s. Communication with the hosts was excellent and we felt very well looked after. Thank you so much.

Amazing Bosphorus View Apartment
First of all, this space is STUNNING!! So comfortable, with a gorgeous view! Hasan was attentive, helpful and quick to respond with any of our needs. I would highly recommend this Airbnb during your time in Istanbul.

Fresh topfloor-apartment with a great ocean view!
Amazing place! Gorgeous views across the water from the living room windows. Easy walk (or bus) into the centre of town. Also nice having a grocery store 3 minutes away. Charlotte was super friendly and the apartment had all the basics for a stay (laundry detergent, coffee, etc.). Was a perfect base for my short stay in Tromsø.

Sagrada Familia Apartmento
Wow!!! Our host’s hospitality was the best I have experienced at any Airbnb. In fact, I’m worried that Enric has spoiled us! I have stayed at many vacation rentals with my family of 4 over the past 15 years, so when I say that the apartment is in a dream location with a stellar view, and spotlessly clean - I’m speaking from experience:). But what was truly next level were the detailed recommendations, the fabulous (and substantial) snacks and wine provided, the daily cleaning and the responsiveness of our host. A new bar has been set!!! Thank you Enric.

Design Cottage Close to Icelandic Countryside & Reykjavik
Our stay was amazing at the Garden Cottage, hosts were so kind and gave many recommendations about local restaurants/coffee shops, and everything Iceland. This was a benchmark for our AirBnb experiences, provided a special experience for us and our two young kids. Incredible stay, highly recommend

NUMERO 6 - A house with a view - Lake Como, Italy.
We have an excellent stay on the lake. Beautiful views and in a quieter area away from crowds!

Casa Ileana (CIN: IT072035C200034605)
The most incredible home we have ever stayed at, it felt like a dream. Mario, was a fantastic host, the house was beautifully decorated, the view was stunning, the location was 10/10. We will never forget our stay at Casa lleana, and hope to come back again!

Gamletunet at Juv
We loved staying at Rønnaug’s beautiful family farm. This was by far the best airbnb experience we have ever had! The cottage was such a peaceful getaway during our Norwegian road trip. Check in was a breeze as Rønnaug was extremely helpful and responsive. The house was gorgeous and spotless, and overall this was just the most peaceful and beautiful spot we have ever stayed. Juv is surrounded by peaceful woods, rolling fields, and the beauty of the fjords, and is a short drive to outdoor activities like the Loen skylight and Briksdalsbreen glacier. We highly recommend this spot!

Kotor - Stone House by the Sea
A beautiful property. Boštjan was very helpful and checked in occasionally to see if there was anything we needed. The free beer and wine provided on arrival was a nice touch after a day of travel.

House with pool near the sea with the best view!!
We have been to many countries so far. We visited Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Bułgaria, Canada,France but this place is the best . The house is very comfortable, cosy ,well equipped and it has its unique style.The garden is beautifull. We will always remember amazing sunsets and sunrises, the birds drinking water from the pool, the scent od flowers and plants.We used the pool few times a day. It was cleaned regulary. Kostas is a great host. We do appreciate his kindnese, care, generosity and hospitality. He gave us advice what is worth seeng, visiting. He even went with us to the town to do shopping. Kostas showed where we should buy the best vegetables, fruit, jest. Whatever you need he is always for you. Don't hesitate, just come to Dafni and spend gorgeous holidays.

Waterfront stone house -off the grid escape-
This accommodation is a gem! We spent a wonderful week here. Perfect amenities even with a small child (harness, high chair, bed). Even beach towels are provided. The house is even more beautiful than in the photos and spotlessly clean, the bed very comfortable. The access road is not paved but can be easily accessed with a normal vehicle. And on top of everything, Romano is a very likeable, reliable and accommodating host, messages are always answered within a very short time. We highly recommend this place and would be happy to come back.

Panoramic Sea View 4 bedroom villa + sauna + spa
Superb sunset view and clean apartment
Waterfront condo accommodation

Studio with balcony and direct view to the river
Lovely, well located space. Hans communicated clearly and the space was very comfy and the proximity to the Spree and other parts of Berlin was perfect. Would stay again!

Prinsengracht 969, your home to explore Amsterdam
We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very nice, peaceful, convenient and situated in a nice neighbourhood. Helena was very helpful and allowed us to store our luggage at the apartment until we needed to go to the airport. Helena also gave us some very good local recommendations

Gramercy Cosy one bedroom haven - on the sea front
We had a lovely stay in Dunoon, it is a very quiet a peaceful place and we really enjoyed our stay. Paddy is friendly and helpful and her dog is beautiful and very sweet. Both beds were very comfortable, the shower was warm and powerful and the homemade bread was a great touch- we thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you again :)

At the Canal, Calm & Beautiful
We had a great stay! Hugo was easy to contact, gave us many local recommendations, and easy to follow directions. The place was clean, had a great view, and is on a quiet street. Location was great, very walkable to all of the main tourist attractions. We were worried about not having a tv but didn’t miss it. Just a heads up to people in the U.S.-bring wash cloths to Europe. All 3 of the Airbnb’s that we stayed at did not provide them. I read that they consider it a personal item, like a toothbrush, and expect you to bring your own. Thank you Hugo!

Stylish Seafront Flat
Really enjoyed our stay at Steven’s place, perfect location and really lovely homely flat. Definitely recommend!

Entire Apartment in Kemptown + Free Parking
Absolutely perfect stay in Brighton. The place was exactly how described and was perfect for what we were looking for. The free parking is such a bonus and caught my eye when I was searching for a place. The flat is super comfy with everything you need. Will was a 5 star host who was always so quick to reply and even got us a parking permit as we were down in Brighton earlier then the check in time. We will definitely be back.

Ca’ Zulian Palace - Grand Canal
We booked because another guest's review said "just go for it" and I would offer the same advice to others. We had a great time enjoying coffee & wine on the terrace while watching boat traffic on the Grand Canal. Although there are Vaporetto stops nearby, we walked almost everywhere we went and it was great to explore the neighborhood. For a quiet night in, stop by Fried Land (just around the corner) for excellent take-out pasta.

Porto Bello Gold ( Sea View & Swimming Pool, Cozy)
We had a great stay; the appartement was clean and functional. We loved the pool!
