It’s time to don some practical clothing, slip on your hiking boots, and prep some mid-trek snacks – Yosemite National Park is calling. One of the most spectacular areas of natural beauty in the entire US of A, Yosemite has everything from glaciers and waterfalls to vast lakes and eerie giant sequoia groves. Whether you’re a nature-mad adventurer or simply a curious explorer, the California park is an essential bucket list stop. When visiting Yosemite, there are quite a few options for accommodation, from glamorous hotels and cozy cabins to back-to-basics camping. For comfort, independence and practicality, however, there are few better ways to truly make the most of Yosemite than by renting yourself an Airbnb.  One of the most popular areas to stay when visiting Yosemite National Park is, naturally, the rental community inside the park’s boundaries – Yosemite West – but there are plenty of other options. From facility-heavy areas like Oakhurst to Ahwahnee in Yosemite Valley or the further-out likes of Mariposa, Yosemite’s surrounding area is littered with fabulous rentals. Below are the ten best Airbnbs in Yosemite and its nearby towns. Updated April 2024: Ready for two hot new properties? Of course you are. Good luck choosing your favourite Airbnb near Yosemite with these latest additions to the list – both being deluxe cabins in Groveland.  RECOMMENDED:🌳Read the best time to visit Yosemite🏕Stay at the best campgrounds in Yosemite 🥾See our list of the best hikes in Yosem

Sure, hotels are nice, but they can be a bit overrated. An even better way to experience Dallas is by honoring your youth and staying in a treehouse rental. Providing peace, tranquility, and reconnecting you with nature, a treehouse Airbnb is the perfect secluded stay. It can even provide you with all that while remaining in the city. Or you can get it in some seriously secluded green acres just a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Downtown.  No matter what your preference is, there's a treehouse to suit you. Whether for families, groups of friends, or a couples retreat, Airbnb has a whole range of treehouses that all give you the childhood nostalgia you're after. There are even some that are surprisingly luxurious. We’ve scoured Airbnb to find some of the roomiest, most conveniently located (how do ten minutes from Six Flags sound?), and quirkiest (we’re talking tree ships here). So, forget the bog-standard B&B and instead book one of the best treehouses in and around Dallas. Updated in April 2024: We regularly keep an eye out for wonderful new properties that slip under the radar, and this time we think we may have outdone ourselves with the newest addition to our list this upscale treehouse near downtown that looks more like a museum.  Recommended: 🏨Check-in to one of the best hotels in Dallas🎸Head to the best attractions in Dallas🌵Sleep in the best Airbnbs in Dallas Who makes the cut?

Over the past decade, Downtown L.A. has transformed from a place where business people were forced to stay to a destination where tourists may even want to stay. Downtown hotels span both historic high-rises and sleek contemporary towers, with enough rooms to cater to convention attendees and tourists alike. Though it may not fit the palm tree-lined postcard picture of L.A. (and it’s lost a bit of its momentum over the past couple of years), it’s a Metro-friendly destination filled with museums and cultural institutions, not to mention all of the amazing Downtown restaurants and bars. If you’re looking for an L.A. experience that’s different from the typical Hollywood one, consider a stay at one of these Downtown Los Angeles hotels.

Did you think Canary Wharf was all soulless glass office buildings and city suits? Times have changed, and this TRIBE hotel – the first UK location from a group with hotels across the globe – is a good example of the fact that Canary Wharf’s is actually well worth a look these days. It’s a welcoming place a short walk from the station, with a striking redbrick exterior that’s clearly taken its cue from a Brooklyn apartment block. And that’s a good thing. Inside it’s kitted out in inviting hues: pastel pinks, coppery reds and light grey booths, coupled with Art Deco prints, tropical plants and a groovy lamp in – I think? – every corner. I liked it. The rooms are a solid mix of form and function; the bed’s a doozy and the fact you can order room service via a QR code on your flatscreen TV is a nice touch (be gone, phoning down!). But what I actually loved most were the spectacular floor-to-ceiling views overlooking the Thames Waterway. It’s a really lovely look, especially when night falls. Fun fact for fitness freaks: visitors also get an exclusive pass to the (excellent) Third Space gym a five-minute walk from the hotel – and there are plans to bring one in-house at some point, too.  Neighbourhood:You’re in Wood Wharf, a quiet residential neighbourhood (yes, they exist around here) about an eight-minute walk from Jubilee and Elizabeth lines, and the DLR. Those transport links means it works well as a base for exploring London, though you’re pretty well served if you want to s
