Vetted by our experts
With its confident colour palette, built-in plywood cabinetry, and nods to mid-century design, this home is perfect for design-conscious travellers. The hosts are design and architecture lovers themselves, and they’ve managed to turn a 1955 structure into something truly unique.

We promise expert-vetted homes, total transparency and exceptional service.
