From Hobbit Houses and bubble hotels to dreamy treehouses and abodes Wes Anderson would be proud of, Airbnb boasts some of the world’s most unique accommodation options. And there’s one thing it has over other providers: castles.
Yep, thanks to Airbnb, you can rent a real-life castle for a day, a week or a month like it’s no big deal. In fact, they’re so popular that the platform now has more than 6000 listings with the word “royal” in the title – that’s a crazy 43 per cent increase in the last year. Where are people pulling all these castles from?!
