There are dozens of great Airbnb vacation rentals across North Carolina, from cozy mountain cabins to luxurious lakefront homes.
Now there’s a way to quickly check out the “most loved” rentals in the state.
Airbnb is rolling out a new feature called Guest Favorites, which is a collection of the 2 million most loved homes around the world based on the ratings, reviews and reliability from over half a billion trips.
“In North Carolina, there have been nearly 4 million reviews left by guests since Airbnb began,” a spokesperson told The Charlotte Observer. “But many guests don’t know exactly how to spot the homes guests love the most.
