Nearly a year into a global pandemic, the concept of not-so-distant travel is starting to look more and more like a possibility. Given continued success with slowing case numbers and vaccine distribution, not to mention improved safety measures in many parts of the world, travelers may be feeling a bit more optimistic about planning for potential trips. And if these are creative hiding places that would be best suited for your next excursion, some of the the most artistic Airbnbs worth considering for the atmosphere alone.
Based on the recently released novel great host by Kate Russo, which is based on an artist who falls into financial difficulty and is forced to rent out her west London home, Airbnb worked with the author (who is also an artist herself) to find some some of the site’s most artistic rentals for anyone looking to be immersed in a space filled with aesthetic wonders, both inside and out. “Carefully designed with just the right amount of personal touch, this is how I imagined the house that [main character Bennett] rents to support his passion,” says Russo. “All of these announcements share Bennett’s love for design, originality and comfort.
From Budapest to Sacramento, the seven Airbnb rentals selected by the author will make you feel like you’re staying in a gallery or an art museum. So if your spirit of adventure calls for future holidays that inspire your own work of art, these places are absolutely worth adding to your wishlist ASAP.
