Whether we’re wistfully browsing the most luxurious and far-flung properties for the vacay of our dreams or actually booking the (probably slightly more humble) accommodation for our next holiday, Airbnb is often one of our first ports of call. When you want something more unique, homely and private than a hotel can offer, a rental property is an ideal solution and since 2008 Airbnb has been facilitating that desire for travellers across the globe.
