How it works

Simple, and personal.

  1. 1

    Tell me about your trip

    Dates, budget, what you want to do. About two minutes.

  2. 2

    I do the local homework

    Neighbourhoods, hotels, and how long getting around really takes.

  3. 3

    Your plan, by email

    A clear PDF within 48 hours. Ask follow-up questions by email.

Not another generic list.

Advice built around your dates, budget and plans — not a copy-paste of the top ten hotels.

  • Neighbourhoods matched to your trip
  • Hotel picks within your budget
  • Real travel times, rush hour included
  • The best route from the airport

This is advice, not a booking service — hotel prices and availability can change. You book your hotel directly.
