Admittedly, I mainly use Airbnb when I don’t want to suffer through Manila traffic, but I have stayed at some unique stays outside of Manila too!

Airbnb Stays in Metro Manila
Most of my Airbnb stays in Manila are in Makati City (mainly in or near Legazpi Village, because I’m a big fan of the Legazpi Sunday Market and not a fan of waking up early to commute), but I have stayed at a couple of properties outside of Makati too. Here’s a continuation of my…

Airbnb Stays in Makati
Airbnb is a popular alternative to hotels and hostels for travelers all over the world. Personally, I like staying in Airbnb properties, because it has a lot more character, and while it’s not as cushy as staying at a hotel, it does not cost as much. It’s a little more expensive than a hostel, but…
