Airbnb is taking over and rightly so. All over the world, the innovative platform offers unique and affordable options, giving that local, homey feel. For those on the #travelgoals or #dreambig spectrum, Airbnb also offer some of the most unbelievable properties- quite literally fit for a King or Queen. These may seem way out of reach, but split between a group of friends or big family… they may still work out better than multiple hotel rooms! Ok, maybe not- but who doesn’t love a look at other people’s homes?
Los Angeles, California
What: Elvis Presley’s Beverly Hills Estate
Link: Elvis Airbnb.
Live like a King- if only for a few days. No pun intended 🙂 This stunning Trousdale property is perched on a small, exclusive cliff in Beverly Hills, with breathtaking panoramic views. It’s easy to get “caught in a trap” of enjoyment, whilst taking in the huge outdoor lounging areas, custom pool or social spaces. Stay or not, any Elvis fans should check out the original gates from when he lived there in the 1960’s.
Price: From $2,950 per night
Sleeps: 8 people, no charge for extra guests.

First of all, go to Cape Town! It’s amazing. Second, rob a bank and stay here. Third, forget part two.

Yep- it’s pricey, especially for Southeast Asia, but just look at the views. This insane property is one you may never want to leave, and if you plan properly, it may be hard to kick you out. The beautiful, modern villa perched on a cliff has its own gym, infinity pool, 2 fully equipped kitchens and plenty to do in the nearby area. Oh and for no extra cost (thankfully) it comes with a private car and driver to transport you around.

These are not expensive. I had to get a house on south beach for my buddies and I and the options were $3000-5000 for a mansion.
The gauche and wannabe bullshit continues. Sad!
