A journey to Europe's best value Airbnb in a surprising location

With little knowledge of Serbia and its regions, I allowed a dream property, rather than the location, to dictate our stay.

Did you ever think that the backdrop for your dream holiday could be… Serbia? We all so often focus on a destination when we think of our travel plans but on a trip to the Balkans last week, I put the focus on a dream property experience, rather than hoteling around the main tourist resorts. The result? One of the best holidays of my life for a bargain.
