Book a plum getaway – with The Plum Guide
Similar to Airbnb, but each of the homes – and hosts – featured have been vetted to ensure a top-notch stay with seriously affordable options in 12 cities
Peregrine in Milan – Incredible views, offering a unique indoor / outdoor experience
Booking holidays – it should be enjoyable. But more often than not the process is arduous, stressful, and once you finally get there after however many hours of travel you can open the door to your rented apartment to find that the listing is most definitely not as advertised.
We’ve all been there – the wifi is weak, the shower barely manages a dribble, the noise from the traffic is deafening or so little natural light you can barely read your book. Like turning up to a first date and realising you’ve been duped by an artistically embellished Tinder profile – it can be a huge disappointment, even a trip-ruiner. But no longer: enter The Plum Guide.
The Panther in Berlin – New to The Plum Guide and super instagrammable
Choir Song in Copenhagen – Located in an old parish hall, the living room used to be the auditorium where the choir sung
A similar set-up to Airbnb, but with a big difference. Each of the homes featured have been rigorously vetted to ensure a top-notch stay. After initial screenings and interviews (to filter out Hosts that have been found wanting on service) The Plum Guide’s Home Critics conduct an exhaustive two hour test on 150 different criteria – and yes, that does include the aforementioned water pressure. This meticulous reviewing system – only 1% succeed in joining The Plum Guide’s exclusive ranks – combined with an incredibly personalised booking service results in ultimate customer satisfaction.
