The Luxury Version of Airbnb

Searching high and low to find the perfect home for your next city getaway? After staying at one of the Plum Guide’s homes, you won’t want to stay at a hotel ever again. The Plum Guide has meticulously hand-selected and rigorously tested the top 1% of properties on booking sites. They accept 1 in 100 homes and collect over 500 data points on every home, from the height of shower head; the pillow type; the size of the mattress and more.

 

Gold’N Marble; Eiffel Tower, Paris

Located on the seventh floor with unbeatable views of the Iron Lady in all her glory, this home is both luxurious and homely. You’re not far from rue du Commerce which has a plethora of shops, cafes and restaurants to keep you entertained, as well as the Champs de Mars gardens.

 

Pent Up; Midtown, New York

Penthouse dreaming! Sky high on the 46th floor, your views across Manhattan are simply spectacular. Despite being bang on in the city’s madness, since you’re perched up so high, you’ll find a rare sense of privacy and tranquility during your stay. Wake up to the Chrysler building staring you in the face, and enjoy daily housekeeping and a plethora of other services at your disposal should you need it.

 

Gaudi’s Balcony; Eixample, Barcelona

Located right opposite the four key buildings of Catalan Modernism, this home wakes you up with just about the best view in town. Host and designer Nuria is responsible for the art and the look of luxury – she’s responsible for the kitchen triptych and the subtle Gaudí tile homage in the bathrooms.
