onefinestay (www.onefinestay.com), the world’s first unhotel which lets guests live like a local by staying in a distinctive home while the owner is out of town, today announced a new partnership with Context Travel to offer guests access to leading educational walking tours during their stay.

onefinestay redefines the experience of city travel: live like a local by staying in a distinctive home, paired with all the comforts and conveniences of a hotel service. Guests enjoy 5* hotel linens, fluffy towels, toiletries, and even an iPhone stocked with local recommendations from the homes’ owners for the duration of their stay. Meanwhile, members earn a hassle-free income at times when their house or apartment would otherwise stand vacant.

Context walking tours are now available to onefinestay’s guests in London and New York, giving them the chance to discover the city with the help of an expert guide. Context’s tours are organised and led by a network of scholars and professionals, including art historians, writers, architects and gastronomes, committed to bringing together the traveller and city in a way that benefits both.

The announcement of this partnership with Context Travel follows onefinestay’s recent launch of a new iPhone app for guests, which is stocked with thousands of local tips and recommendations from the homes’ owners and provides a unique way to explore the local area. Context tours can now be booked through the app, as onefinestay continues to focus on providing guests with rich, local content for exploring the city.

Greg Marsh, CEO and co-founder of onefinestay, said of the partnership, “Context’s team of expert guides share unparalleled insights into London and New York on their tours. We’re excited to work with them to further enhance our guests’ ability to discover the city in a novel and thought-provoking manner during their stay.”
