Sometimes the unique vacation rental might be the kernel of your trip.
Many travel destinations are celebrated for cultural heritage, architecture, natural landscapes, and more. However, services like Airbnb are beginning to get creative and the unique vacation rentals that are offered through such platforms might perhaps entice users to go to a place purely because of them.
From the supersized potato hotel in Boise, Idaho that goes for $200 USD per night to the avocado-shaped accommodation that is available through Booking.com, the unique vacation rentals might raise a few eyebrows. Other options include an overnight stay at the Louvre, Claude Monet's house in Normandy, France, as well as rentable housing in a number of micronations.
