I stayed in the Airbnb alternative trying to do things differently
Metro Checks In to Limehome, a holiday rental platform that's hoping to give Airbnb and VRBO a run for their money. I love Spain, particularly its mainland cities; gazing at Gaudi's masterpieces in Barcelona, watching flamenco in Madrid, and of course, eating tapas anywhere, anytime, at any given opportunity. But as a British tourist, Spain doesn't always love me back. Backlash to mass tourism has snowballed in the past year, with locals complaining of overcrowding and short-term rentals wiping out affordable housing in holiday hotspots. At first glance, Limehome, a sort of Airbnb alternative which offers short-let apartments in 153 European cities, might seem like it's adding to the problem. But the strategy is different. Limehome aims to transform unused urban buildings into hotels and apartments, reducing the impact on housing for locals. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. 'This approach helps bring new life to city areas without impacting the availability of residential housing,' a spokesperson told Metro. They've recently acquired an office building in Paris, which will be transformed into 25 apartments, as well as an unused building in Burgos, a city in Northern Spain less popular with visitors than its famous neighbours. I headed to the Limehome in Ruzafa, Valencia's trendiest neighbourhood, to check it out. Limehome is a hotel-holiday apartment hybrid. There's no reception or concierge — it's all done via an app. You can check in online before your stay, much like you do for a flight. Then, on the day of arrival, you're sent the codes which you use to access the building. To some, this could feel impersonal, but it's quick, easy and faff-free. Opening the door to the light-filled apartment, it's clear to see that providing a clean, comfortable stay is the priority. The aesthetic is all clean lines and grey interiors, with a pop-of-red kitchen. There are a few extra touches to make the place feel cosier, such as houseplants and colourful art on the walls. If a hotel full of personality and local tips is what you're after, this isn't for you — if you'd told me I was the first person to stay here, I'd have believed you. There's no guest book or well-worn pamphlets like you might find in an Airbnb, and I didn't see a single other guest for the three days I was there. But the apartment was spotless, the kitchen stocked with everything you need (including an all-important bottle opener) and the Wi-Fi super fast. Someone visiting Valencia on business would be equally at home here as a group of friends on a city break. The apartment I stayed in had one bedroom, plus a sofa bed in the lounge/dining area. It was spacious, more than big enough for the maximum four people that could stay here. Beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was equipped with shower gel and shampoo, unusual for stays like this. As a self-catered apartment, you won't find any adds on: there's no spa or swimming pool, for example, but the standout feature has to be the cute balcony that looks out onto the street below. Small but compact, it was the perfect spot to rest my legs after a long day of sightseeing, sangria in hand, of course. A special shout-out also goes to the full-length mirror – this should be a must in every holiday accommodation, but it's not. Often, when staying in a self-service apartment, it's all about location. You're foregoing the luxury amenities of a hotel, in exchange for staying right in the action. That's certainly the case for Limehome Valencia, which is in the heart of Ruzafa, Valencia's hipster neighbourhood. You're spoilt for choice when it comes to food and drink: from aesthetically pleasing brunch spots (I liked Casa Raíz with it's cute outdoor courtyard), and some of the best tapas I've ever eaten (I lost count of the amount of plates I ordered at La Anjana) to quirky cocktail bars (La Bella De Cadiz is quite a sight to behold…). There are vintage stores and art galleries, and Ruzafa is known for being particularly LGBTQ+ friendly, with rainbow flagged adorned from various balconies and awnings. And, while it's not Valencia's most famous area for street art (you'll have to head to El Carmen for that), Rufaza feels colourful and creative. You'll still be able to spot some amazing murals if you keep your eyes peeled. You feel like you're hanging out with the locals here, who spill out of bars, and drink Agua de Valencia — a lethal but delicious cocktail — on the kerb. The only downside is that it's not exactly quiet, and it was a little noisy when attempting to sleep. That being said, as a Londoner who lives on a main road, I was able to drift out without any problems. That's not as straightforward as you might think. Limehome uses airline-style dynamic pricing driven by demand, the local market price, and the respective occupancy rate at the location. Rates rise during peak periods (such as during Valencia's famous street-festival Las Fallas in mid-March) and falls when demand is softer. At the time of writing, a standard room in Valencia for a small one-guest apartment will cost: October 8 2025: €123 per night January 14 2026: €98 per night When I first arrived, I threw open the doors of the balcony, and was immediately confronted with a banner hanging from the window of the flat opposite, with the words 'tourists go home'. Perhaps I should have opted for an alternative destination or a locally-run hotel — as Metro's Lifestyle Editor, it's not like I'm unaware of up-and-coming cities that aren't overrun with visitors. More Trending I tried my best to be a responsible tourist. I booked tours with local companies, bought produce from local suppliers at the Central Market, and ate food at restaurants owned by Spanish chefs. Yes, I may have stayed in a short-term let, but Limehome is at least attempting to do things differently. Am I trying to justify my trip to a country that welcomed a staggering 17.3 million British tourists in 2023 alone? Maybe. But I'm not ready to give up my love affair with Spain just yet. Time: Valencia is GMT +1 hours. Weather: The average daily temperature in July and August is around 31°C. Spring is much cooler, with highs of around 21°C in April. Adaptors: Plugs in Spain are type F, which has two round pins. Visas: Currently, there is no visa requirement for UK tourists visiting Spain. However, next year 2026, UK citizens will need to obtain an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System). Check in/check out: 3pm and 11am. Disability access? Yes. Limehome Valencia has a lift, which offers access to all floors. However, not all Limehome apartments are the same, and it's important to check before booking. Standout feature: The right-in-the-heart-of-it location, and little balcony. Perfect for: Limehome Valencia would suit pretty much every type and group of guest, from families to business travellers. Not right for: Those looking for a stay with bags of character. Do you have a story to share?

What I Own: I sluethed on Rightmove to get a £36,000 discount on my Bristol home
Welcome back to What I Own – Metro's property series where we speak to homeowners about getting on the ladder. When Orima Kamalu, 36, and her husband first moved into their Bristol three-bed, they started on a high. The pair managed to secure their property for £629,000 – which was £36,000 less than the asking price. How did they do it? Simply by doing some detective work on Rightmove, and taking the risk. Now, they've just marked one year in their new home, which creative Orima has certainly put a colourful stamp on. Here's what Orima had to say about her property journey… You can access completely fee-free mortgage advice with London & Country (L&C) Mortgages, a partner of Metro. Customers benefit from: – Award winning service from the UK's leading mortgage broker – Expert advisors on hand 7 days a week – Access to 1000s of mortgage deals from across the market Unlike many mortgage brokers, L&C won't charge you a fee for their advice. Find out how much you could borrow online Mortgage service provided by London & Country Mortgages (L&C), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (registered number: 143002). The FCA does not regulate most Buy to Let mortgages. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. I'm a consultant psychiatrist in the NHS, and my hobbies include DIY, arts and crafts, and watching far too much TV. My husband and I were studying, working and renting in London until 2019, when we moved back to Bristol, my hometown, to be closer to my mum. We have a three-year-old son and a seven-year-old cocker spaniel. Our property is in Westbury-On-Trym, just north of Bristol. It's known for being quite a traditional 'village' and less trendy than other parts of the city, but we love it. My favourite thing is how close we are to so many beautiful outdoor spaces, such as Blaise Estate, Baddocks Woods and The Downs. I'm also obsessed with FED, a delightful local café which recently opened a new branch. That said, the local high street has clearly suffered in recent years, with lots of long-standing independent stores closing. We hope that our community will continue to support the retailers we love. June 2024. Our property was listed for £665,000 and we purchased it for £629,000. Around £127,000. Our mortgage is £2,400 per month. Our bills come to approximately £1,200, including gas, electricity, water, broadband, and council tax. This is our second home, so we used the net proceeds from the sale of our first home as a deposit for this property. We bought our first property in 2021 for £395,000 with a 10% deposit, which came from savings gradually built over several years. We sold it for £463,000. Being NHS workers during COVID, we were lucky that we were still employed during this time, so we could continue saving. We also benefited from the stamp duty hiatus. Orima was keen to channel her creativity into her new house, with bold colour choices and chic furnishings. Now, the standout feature is the ceiling in her three-year-old's bedroom: hand-painted fluffy white clouds on a bright blue sky. The quirky choice got her son's seal of approval, and it even got her norminated for a Best Showstopping Home Feature in the Home Awards. Celebrating talent across 20 categories, including interiors, gardens, furniture innovation and home accessories, the awards highlight the best in the home renovations game. We were probably saving for our initial deposit since we both left university, but in earnest for about two years since moving to Bristol in 2019. The most complex part of securing a mortgage for uswas figuring out how to 'port' our existing mortgage debt from the first property to the second. A ported mortgage is what happens when you buy a new home and you want to take your existing mortgage rate with you. It's usually used when you have a deal that you want to keep, and while you'll still need to apply for a new mortgage, your current rate will still apply if you're successful in 'porting' it. If you want to borrow more than the value of your previous home, you can apply for additional borrowing. This will mean you'll end up with two elements to your mortgage, one part being the ported rate and the second being to cover the extra borrowing (usually on a different rate). Again, our broker oversaw the whole process with ease and clarity, so we were very fortunate that this went smoothly. We have a two-part mortgage with HSBC. Part 1: (ported mortgage) 3.29% fixed until 2027, 30-year term. Part 2: (new/additional mortgage) 4.38% fixed until 2029, 30-year term. We crunched some numbers with our mortgage advisor to determine what we could actually afford, and this kicked off our house search. I saw this property come on the market in September 2023 and immediately fell in love with it, even though it was quite out of our budget. I loved the location, the size and the potential to be refurbished without much need for anything structural. I did a bit of research on the property itself and found the buying history on Rightmove, which showed what the current owners had bought it for, versus the price it was actually listed for at the time. They offered below asking, so we took a chance and did the same. It was actually the same amount below asking that the current owners had bought for, which I think was part of the reason they didn't dismiss it. We were also the only potential buyers, which helped. We were so lucky it was accepted. Before we moved in, I had used a home visualiser app, which virtually redecorates the entire house, so I had a clear vision of how I wanted it to look in time. I get a lot of inspiration from Instagram home accounts. I'm drawn to homes which combine traditional features (like panelling and coving) with bold but earthy colours, prints and statement pieces like funky lighting. Sort of like a 'muted maximalism'. My favourite room is probably the kitchen, as even though I detest cooking, it's the transformation I'm most proud of. The kitchen was very different before, with white gloss units, turquoise walls, and a black floor and counter. It took quite a bit of figuring out and learning new skills but now I love the Victorian dresser and the drinks cabinet we sourced from Facebook marketplace, and I'm proud of our DIY tiling. We were keen to ensure that anywhere we bought had a reasonably-sized garden (a must with a dog), off-street parking and a downstairs toilet. In future, I'll be adding the following to the list: utility room and a garage (we lost one in the move, and it's such a wrench storage-wise). Yes and no. We do have more than enough space however, we've just started making enquiries about expanding the property with a small extension at the back, which we would use as an office and gym space. It would free up an extra bedroom in case we have a second child. The DIY renovations are endless and constantly ongoing. We had solar panels installed recently, which has been a really great addition in terms of bills and sustainability in general. We will likely do some landscaping of the front of the property and the rear garden to make them more enjoyable outdoor spaces. Fortunately (touch wood) nothing major so far. The odd thing is plumbing and heating, but we've been lucky not to need any big issues addressed. We count ourselves as extremely privileged to have been able to take this step, and I think fellow homeowners would do well to remember that. More Trending It's also been a big exercise in patience, as for a quite straightforward purchases, it took a surprisingly long time to get to completion. We think we'll probably stay here for at least 10 years or so, as the location suits our little family very well.

Inside Heathrow's latest £49,000,000,000 plan for third runway and terminals
The race for the controversial Heathrow expansion has geared up after two rival plans are now on the table. First up were plans by billionaire businessman Surinder Arora's company, the Arora Group, which revealed cheaper plans with a shorter new runway. Now Heathrow has submitted its plan for the third runway, which would be full length and take a chunk out of the M25 nearby. Heathrow has said its plan is 'shovel-ready' and flights could take off within a decade. The new runway could add 276,000 more flights each year, increasing the number from 480,000 to 756,000 annually. The expansion would create at least 30 new daily routes and serve up to 150 million passengers, Heathrow said. Here is a breakdown of the £49 billion price tag. £21 billion -Used to build the new, full-length, 11,482ft runway north-west of the current airport, and to divert part of the M25 into a tunnel -Used to build the new, full-length, 11,482ft runway north-west of the current airport, and to divert part of the M25 into a tunnel £12 billion – This will fund the new terminal complex called T5X to allow the increased passenger numbers, baggage handling, airside and landside operations, car parks and transport connections – This will fund the new terminal complex called T5X to allow the increased passenger numbers, baggage handling, airside and landside operations, car parks and transport connections £15 billion – The current airport buildings and services will be upgraded at Terminal 2, including two satellite piers, while the old Terminal 3 and Terminal 1 will be demolished The third runway will swallow up parts of Harmondsworth in Hillingdon north of the airport, an area dotted with hundreds of homes, a primary school, pubs and a moor. Part of the M25 will be diverted into a tunnel to cut underneath the runway. Many locals are against the expansion as homes and businesses near the airport's safety perimeter face demolition, with up to 700 buildings at risk. The UK's busiest airport has been driving for the expansion for years as bosses have argued that Heathrow's capacity is full. Heathrow's CEO, Thomas Woldbye, said operating at capacity at the moment is 'to the detriment of trade and connectivity.' He said: 'With a green light from government and the correct policy support underpinned by a fit-for-purpose, regulatory model, we are ready to mobilise and start investing this year in our supply chain across the country.' The Chancellor said the move will help boost UK economic growth, but campaigners have said the expansion will result in more aircraft noise and pollution, and groups have been up in arms about the expansion idea since it wa first introduced in 2009. Greenpeace UK said the expansion will support a small number of flyers while 'the rest of us have to live with the consequences of their disproportionate polluting.' Justine Bayley, the chair of Stop Heathrow Expansion and a local resident, told Metro that the government failed to give any of the 'downsides,' adding that the Chancellor gave 'fairly meaningless assurances that all environmental aspects will be met.' She said she has seen 'all sort of threats coming and going' during her 30 years of living in the village and that the residents would continue their fight against the expansion. Ms Bayley said the country has 'managed a fair bit of growth without the additional runway.' 'It is not a magic wand for growth,' she said. Heathrow is one of the world's busiest airports as planes take off or land up to every 45 seconds across the two existing runways. It is set to see 84.2 million passengers pass through its terminals this year – an increase of 0.4% from the 83.9 million last year. Two existing runways have capacity for around 475,000 flights. The new runway would raise the capacity to around 740,000 flights. Around one-third of the UK's long-haul flights go through Heathrow, Chancellor Reeves said. She said the expansion could create more than 100,000 jobs. Alongside long-haul routes, the new runway would serve flights to domestic locations like Belfast International, Liverpool, Prestwick and Durham Tees Valley. However, easyJet, which doesn't currently serve Heathrow, said the expansion is a 'unique opportunity for easyJet to operate from the airport at scale for the first time and bring with it lower fares for consumers.' Colne Valley Regional Park said it is 'fiercely opposed' to the expansion, claiming that it would result in the 'unprecedented environmental destruction' and loss of swathes of the park located near northwest of the airport. The group said that five rivers would need to be diverted along with the M25 and local road changes. Independent advisers on the Government's Climate Change Committee recommend there should be 'no net airport expansion across the UK.' The UK is committed to reaching net zero for CO2 emissions by 2050. Chancellor Reeves has argued that growth does not need to mean compromising the net zero target, saying that the Heathrow expansion is 'badly needed.' The expansion has caused division in the government, with Ed Miliband spending years campaigning against the project before he made a U-turn and backed the proposal. The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has been clear about it opposition to the expansion due to the 'severe impact it will have in terms of noise, air pollution and meeting our climate change targets.' It will take years before the third runway and new terminals are operational as the planning process will take up to two years before anything can be built. More Trending The third Heathrow runway is not expected to open until the 2030s. Next, the government will consider both Heathrow Airport's and Arora Group's plans before formal planning consent is given. This article was first published on January 29.
