12 stunning homes that will make any traveler feel like a local

[An artist's cottage in Avignon, France]Homestay To really get to know a place, seasoned travelers know you've got to befriend locals. What better way to do that than as a guest in their homes?

Similar to Airbnb, Homestay.com offers unique rentals all over the world — the only difference being that these come with hosts; locals that are happy to show you around. Here are 12 beautiful homes from around the world that are worth the trip, and promise warm hospitality and insider knowledge you won't find in a guidebook.
