We do this every single trip.In this episode we talk through how we actually decide. Not the perfect version, the real version. When we book hotels, when we go with Airbnbs and the times we’ve gotten it completely wrong.We get into how to choose the right area first because that matters way more than the place itself. Using real examples from Paris, Amsterdam, Florence and Copenhagen, we break down what actually works and what doesn’t.We also cover: when hotels are the better move  when Airbnbs make more sense  how people end up booking in the wrong location  why cheaper is not always better This is part planning, part rambling and a lot of what we’ve learned from traveling across Europe with a teen and a dog.We break this down city by city on our site with full guides on where to stay so you can actually book the right area the first time.If you’re planning a Europe trip and want to get your stay right the first time this will help.Support the show
