There are countless Rio de Janeiro accommodation listings that can be currently found on Airbnb, but there's one in particular that will stand out to sports fans.
This bedroom inside the Rio Olympic Arena contains space for two to sleep in a gold medal-inspired bed, sit on bleachers and climb rope ladders. The room's floor-to-ceiling windows also provide an unforgettable view of the stadium's interior, which is where the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and gymnastics competition will be hosted later this year. In order to win the chance to stay in this unique Rio de Janeiro accommodation, people from all over the world are invited to contact the hosts and describe why they want to stay.
As part of some of the one-of-a-kind experiences Airbnb is offering through an initiative called #NightAt, travelers have gotten the chance to sleep everywhere from bookstores to aircraft apartments.
