We did this for a year or so just before Covid, through Europe with 3 kids, driving around and towing a trailer between locations. We stayed 2-6 weeks at a place, generally a house outside major metro areas. (for parking and price purposes) My wife got really good at doing geoguessr to find out the exact location prior to booking. Between that and the review filtering, we never really had a bad stay. Though the one place in Spain halfway down a narrow 1 lane drive with a 12% grade, that one was tricky. * I think we had one place with decent knives. * Most places had enough pots and pans for basic cooking, never matched. Though, Matching isn't really an issue for me. The one place that advertised a gourmet kitchen was one of the least usable I've ever dealt with. * Most places had a working corkscrew. * One place had a still. (Small, tabletop distilling apparatus). That's the most unique. It was also wood heated, and we were there over Christmas/New Year's. Since we had the trailer, we had boxes of our stuff -- the kitchen box, the electronics box, the linen box.
