Who among us doesn’t plan their trips around food? When we travel to San Francisco, we’re sure to eat at Cala. When we go to Miami, we’re craving Panther Coffee and the best damn empanadas around.
But going out for every meal? Well that’s just exhausting– and expensive. Fortunately, with the right rental, you can cook in a kitchen as good as an industrial one and spacious enough for your extended family. And we promise the view from your sink will be better than an air shaft.
We rounded up suggestions from among Trip Advisor’s Vacation Rentals. So start dreaming about those local ingredients…
