From Germany to the United States, and from Greece to Chile, Airbnb is taking the world by a storm. The San Francisco-based operation allows people to list rooms or apartments for rental. Yes, there are hostels across the world, but the coolness of these amazing Airbnb places are beyond anything anyone could imagine.

Be it gondola cars in the Alps or beer barrels in Germany, bamboo house of Bali or island villa near Greece, the list goes on and on. Beginning with the unique structures and moving on to the most beautiful stays, here are a few of the coolest Airbnb places that you must stay at, at least once!

1. Beer Barrel in Ostbevern, Germany

Perhaps the owners of Airbnb’s most popular Beer Barrel wanted to offer more to the beer capital of the world. They probably thought that the Oktoberfest in Germany wasn’t enough and handed the nation these cylindrical wooden boxes that smell like beer.

Tariff: INR 6,500 per night onwards

Before you ask, let me clarify that this is no space colony. It is very much a house on Earth, however bizarre and intriguing. The 3-storeyed architectural wonder has huge windows, including the ones on the top floor that offer 360° views of the Dutch city.

Don’t know where Airbnb gets these ideas that are bizarre and scary, but totally cool! One of the newest additions in the coolest Airbnb places is this Courchevel ski resort in France that gives four guests a chance to spend the night in one of their cable cars at a height 2,738 metres above the sea level.

The Gondola cable car that has been converted to a night stay option is perfect for the amazing views of the Alps until you look down or have the urge to go to the loo. Because this beauty comes without a washroom. Sadly!

Alright, the structure is not as unique (or scary) as the ones mentioned above. But what puts this place on our list of the amazing Airbnb places is the mosaic made of Mexican tile, smalti, handmade Perry Hoffman ceramics, tile & fused glass, found desert tiles, found objects, stained glass, and ceramic bric-brac.

The Tile House lies in the middle of a vast and open desert. Just relax in the outdoor hot tub under the starry skies and enjoy a perfect holiday with your family or special one in seclusion.

Tip: Book a stay here in August or November to witness the meteor showers at night.
