When booking a trip, our editors are always looking for the best rental accommodations that rival the most popular and notable hotels in the world. We search high and low for the most unique and comfortable stays to review—and make sure they’re up to par for our readers. From balcony hot tubs with picturesque views to historical riads with lush private courtyards, our editors have been able to find some unique gems in places across the world, from Mexico City to the shores of Thailand. Below you’ll find the 32 best Airbnbs our (past and present) editors and contributors have ever stayed in, including in-depth reviews they’ve written that describe the space, what to see while staying in the area, and the amenities on offer—all the info you’d want to know before booking.
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. Here are some of our editors’ favorite Airbnbs in the world.
