Discovering a cool Airbnb during a burst of online travel research is a beautiful feeling—but an even better one is getting a first-hand recommendation from someone who’s stayed there. Our travel editors have stayed at hundreds of Airbnbs, from Mexico City to the shores of Thailand—and one of the best things about working with them is getting their intel before anyone else does. Below, you’ll find a list of the most knockout Airbnbs that our editors—past and present—and contributors have ever stayed in, as well as in-depth reviews they’ve penned, so that before you book you’ll know for sure whether the space is the right choice for you.
Each of these editor-selected Airbnbs has a stamp of approval icon on its photo. Wherever you see this stamp on Condé Nast Traveler’s website, it means that one of our writers or editors has stayed at the property first-hand and thinks you should, too.
