How To Vacation Like A Movie Star: 7 Celebrity Homes You Can Find On Airbnb

How to get the inside scoop.

On Airbnb, each rental has a star rating, but star ratings can be deceiving. Don’t make the mistake of only taking that rating into account, as it doesn’t always give the most accurate picture of the guest experience. If you really want the inside scoop, read through all of the reviews, suggests Alanna Smith, editor of the travel website TravelPirates.

If you have specific questions about the listing that you can’t find in the reviews, don’t be afraid to reach out to the host. Braye suggests travelers always contact the host to ask about their internet speeds, especially if you’ll be working on the go. If you’re not sure about the location, she also suggests asking how close a rental is to public transportation, supermarkets, and restaurants.

How to avoid breaking the rules.

Staying in an Airbnb for the first time is an exciting experience, but it isn’t like staying in a hotel—some hosts have unexpected preferences or rules for renters of the property. To avoid a bad review on your user account or being charged an extra fee, make sure you read every bit of the house rules, suggests Smith.

While glancing through, you should be looking for rules about drinking in the house, noise levels, pets, and even whether or not kids are allowed on the property. When you and your host see eye-to-eye, it will be a better experience for everyone involved.
