The Top 5 neighborhoods to discover in 2016 according to AirBnb

Airbnb, the community platform for renting and booking accommodation, analyzed the stays of more than 40 million travelers between 2014 and 2015 and the site today reveals a ranking of the must-see neighborhoods to visit in 2016. In 4th position in this ranking , surprise, we find a French quarter, that of the Capuchins, in Bordeaux. This Bordeaux district would be the most appreciated in France by people using Air Bnb! Indeed, this district conducive to walking and strolling which borders the Capucins market is often acclaimed when talking about Bordeaux.

In 1st position, we find Chuo-ku in Osaka, Japan , which would be the trendiest destination to visit in 2016. 3rd largest city in Japan, Osaka has a large Japanese artistic center and is also known as the city of bunraku (puppet theater). The main tourist attraction of the city lies in its lively nightlife, its trendy neighborhoods and its high gastronomy. You can also discover its Castle, its Shitennōji Temple or the Kaiyukan Aquarium, considered one of the largest aquariums in the world.

Then in 2nd position we find Banglampoo (or Banglamphu) in Bangkok, Thailand. This old quarter is by far the most charming in Bangkok according to Lonely Planet . Today there are mainly globetrotters, civil servants but also the only artistic-student enclave in the city.

Then comes Brickfields, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, known as “Little India” Kuala Lumpur comes in 3rd position. You can stroll between the different Indian shops and between the food stalls. Regarding the budget, there is something for all tastes and all budgets!

And finally, in 5th position we find Koukaki in Athens, Greece. Small rather quiet district, it is very practical on the other hand when you want to visit Athens since it is only about ten minutes from the Acropolis and moreover, at very affordable prices!

On the other hand, Airbnb is not popular in Paris since no Parisian district appears in this 2016 ranking...
