Over the past few years, Airbnb has changed the way we have gone on vacation.
The online booking site has introduced us to neighbourhoods we may never have chosen to visit, as well as giving us the opportunity to stay in some homes so elaborate we could usually only afford to stay their in our dreams.
Well, Airbnb recently looked at its own data to determine the most wished-for properties, which showed that users are lusting after more unique and the eccentric properties (clearly, one place looks like a giant sea shell).
And according to Business Insider, these is nine properties that are extremely hard to get into because they’re so popular.
From a tree house overlooking Tuscany to a “mushroom villa” in Bali, there’s no shortage of spectacular pads you can rent out for your own staycation.
Here are the Airbnb properties that the most people wish for, as measured by how many people added them to their online wish list.
