Airbnb Homestays are now more appealing than ever. With the launch of its new Services offering, the brand has made it much easier for guests to combine the privacy of an Airbnb stay with the amenities of a hotel—without even needing to don their slippers to head to the on-site spa.
Although we have long been fans, booking a room at a hostel meant that you would be taking a more DIY-oriented approach to your trip than if you had booked a hotel. You get the unadulterated privacy of your own space, absolutely—but traded off against the fact that you’re cooking your own breakfast and forgoing your morning gym session.
Up until now. Airbnb has launched its 10th anniversary celebration on May 14. bookable service categories Enjoy 260 cities around the world from the comfort and convenience of your Airbnb. Prices start at $50 and include everything from aesthetics (hair, nail, spa treatments, massages) to fitness (yoga and strength training, HIIT and personal training with celebrity coaches), to culinary services (chef-prepared meals and catering services).
This means that anyone planning to a bachelorette weekend in an Airbnb can hire a hairdresser, nail technician, and makeup artist to get the group ready for a big evening out—all on the Airbnb platform. The group can enjoy a morning pilates class on the terrace before the local chef arrives to cook a special dinner. No spa? No spa? Instead, a masseuse and a facialist will come directly to you.
Each host has undergone a thorough evaluation of their expertise and reputation. In addition, they have completed an identity verification and submitted the relevant licenses, certifications, and credentials. There are a variety of categories that include Michelin-starred chefs, award-winning fitness trainers, photographers and other experts.
