You’ve been dreaming about your summer vacation since December. But you could do without all the quirks of staying in someone’s home. Is it so much to ask for fresh bedsheets?

No, dear traveler, it's not. Not if you use Sonder, a website for booking stays in beautiful homes and apartments with hotel-like amenities.

As with Airbnb, pick your location and dates to browse listings on Sonder (they’re available in 9 cities across North America). Then just book, or set up an account to save favorites. Unlike Airbnb, each listing on Sonder is a meticulously maintained full-home rental, located in the best neighborhoods in each city.

The real difference shows once you arrive. Enter via secure keycode, and enjoy a home with a fully stocked bathroom and kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, recs for things to see and do nearby, and a 24/7 concierge service.

That's a vacation.
