Airbnb: the 10 most desired homes worldwide
Homes have more and more commonly become an alternative to hotels for vacations. This is not just the case for younger generations, who are generally considered to be more flexible: staying in this kind of accommodation is a growing trend for couples and families, too. Let’s be honest: staying in a home makes us feel more free. This is probably the reason behind Airbnb’s amazing success. Airbnb users can select from several different types of accommodation, which range from affordable, cheap places to stunning, fablelike luxury options. Speaking of this, the website happens to have just released a ranking of the most viewed listings, sharing thereby a global wishlist. Want to find out which lavish homes made the top spots? They were selected amongst two million properties, in 190 countries, and they include all sorts of accommodation, from a “classical” home in the heart of Rome, to a treehouse in the middle of green nowhereland. Here are the 10 most desired properties in the world… We really wish we could try them all out!
