We’re big fans of AirBnB.com and have an extensive list of wish lists (AirBnB’s equivalent of favorites and bookmarks). With thousands of privately owned properties around the world, it’s inevitable that you sometimes run across some real cool, unique places. Here are a few of the AirBnB listings on our “Cool Places” wishlist.
