I know this is long overdue! I don’t know how many times I’ve got an email from a reader or friend asking for some advice on cosy, unique AirBnbs to rent in Brighton, so I’ve finally got around to making a wishlist of my favourite stays for all budgets, group sizes and tastes. I’ve carefully selected each one, and they’re all located in my favourite streets or neighbourhoods; ones I think you would love to get to know.
