Before you go

Choose the stay.
Make room for
the city.

01

Start with the neighbourhood.

Think about what you want to be near and how you will move around, from the first morning to the last train.

02

Look beyond the first photo.

Consider room layouts, the facilities you need and the practical details listed by the property.

03

Leave space to explore.

A clear plan can still have a little flexibility. Make room for a café, a side street or an unhurried afternoon.
