DJ Khaled wants to be “The Best” Airbnb host.
On Tuesday, the Grammy-winning artist listed two one-night stays in his Miami sneaker closet in December.
“Sleep in my legendary sneaker collection and experience the 305 through the eyes (and shoes) of yours truly,” Khaled wrote. in the ad.
The Airbnb sold out in minutes, according to BET.

But that’s not all. Upon arrival, guests will receive a handwritten welcome note from Khaled and a pair of his newly designed We The Best Air Jordan 5s shoes.
Khaled’s Airbnb doesn’t have a TV or kitchen, but it does have access to an outdoor lounge where Khaled says you can “chill out and soak up the Miami vibe after a dip in the pool.”
Khaled also offers catered dining at his restaurant The Licking – Miami Gardens, and a private shopping spree at Miami sneaker store 305 Kicks.
