7. The Casa Bohem in Uptown

Where do we start with this stunning townhouse? Inspired by Mediterranean and Moorish style, ancient and modern, this place has almost an excess of sophistication. White-one-white colourways meet an abundance of natural materials (wood, stone and textile) to create an ambiance so Zen we suggest factoring in time for some seriously long siestas. The sporadic placing of deep green houseplants is a little bit genius and the overbed canopy adds a palatial feel. In short, this place is like a living art installation.

Rooms? Two. Sleeps six guests.
The mood?
Commercial art gallery-worthy elegance.
Location perks?
You are simply spoilt for fantastic walkable neighborhoods to visit nearby.
Budget range?
For six? Excellent.

The owners are both in creative industries and have meticulously decorated the guest apartment with large earth-tone sofas, memory foam mattresses, and a backyard oasis – complete with a pool and hot tub. Found in a historic neighborhood close to Bishop Arts and Downtown, its location is equally impressive. 

Rooms? Two. Sleeps four guests.
Mood? Boujie 'n blissful.
