Stay is an integral part of any holiday! While booking a holiday, stay is something we prioritise as much as the travel and commute. When regular hotels and lodging were the only preferred way of staying, Airbnb revolutionised the way people perceived accommodation during their travel, just the way Hostels did. Airbnb is an online service that lets people all over the world turn their homes into temporary accommodations for travellers on vacation. India has some gorgeous Airbnbs to look out for, and we picked out our favourite 10!
