Crashing at a friend’s house abroad is nothing new. But, what if your network of global citizens doesn’t extend to some of your favorite cities? Airbnb has been a welcomed alternative for that local experience or when conferences take over city hotels. However, while the sharing economy becomes more wildly popular and the number of new hosts join, finding that perfect ‘home away from home’ and ensuring a quality experience has increased in difficulty.
Enter Onefinestay, which contends by personally scouting and on boarding luxury homes that have a flare for design and quality amenities. You can now explore homes in Paris, London, New York and Los Angeles, each with 500 curated and varied homes to choose from. And because every property is unique, we recommend taking advantage of their experts who can match your accommodation needs with the ideal space. We also love their local teams who care for each home in preparation for your arrival, including any special requests such as adding extra beds or fans.
And while the home-owner won’t be staying with you, don’t fret when you can’t find something or get locked out. Each home comes with an iPhone with the Onefinestay app pre-downloaded, giving you 24/7 access to their concierge team and local guides to each city.
We’ve rounded up our favorite homes in their London, Paris, New York and Los Angeles collection that you can book today.
