We've waxed poetic about how Airbnb Plus is best for first-timers to the platform. The homes must pass a 100-point inspection to make the cut, which includes having closet and drawer space for guests, a well-lit entry, easy check-in, comfortable mattresses, a coffee maker, a bathroom free of the host's personal items, and toiletries like shampoo, among other things. Beyond that, this character-filled two-bedroom Airbnb Plus has all of the trappings of a perfect Parisian home, from exposed beams to a stunning fireplace and stone walls. Its location in the Marais is ideal, too, near the oldest food market in Paris (Marché des Enfants Rouges) and one of our favorite cafes in the city (Le Peloton).

The only hike you'll need to get to this view is up the three flights of stairs to the apartment. The leg workout is worth it for this terrace, with its views of the Eiffel Tower. Set in a residential neighborhood just minutes from the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur, it's far enough from the action to feel like a real home. Plus, the Portuguese-tiled kitchen is a stand-out, so be sure to stop by a grocery store or bakery to pick up what you'll need to cook dinner, then enjoy it in the glow of a Parisian sunset.

Surrounded by vineyards and mountains, this Instagram-worthy cottage on the South Island is the perfect size for a couple's vacation or anniversary trip. It's a 25-minute drive from the Coronet Peak ski hills and less than 15 minutes to Arrowtown where there are plenty of great restaurant options. Couples staying here have access to cycling trails that connect to surrounding wineries from the home's driveway. The home's interior is decked out with modern decor, a full kitchen, and and full floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors to create a true indoor-outdoor experience.

When you think house on a vineyard, this beautiful California villa is exactly what you imagine. Located between Oakville in Napa Valley and Glen Ellen in Sonoma County, this four-bedroom villa is just as stunning inside as it is outside. After a day spent walking through the vineyard to see the premium Syrah grapes, guests can enjoy lunch outside, take a swim in the private pool, or have a fire outside at sunset.
