Wow so cool!
I’m all about staying at fun Airbnbs! 🙂
It appears that airbnb has changed things and all of the links take you to the search page not the accommodation page. Did a copy/paste of the link and airbnb did a redirect on me. Thanks for looking.
Hi Dolores! Unfortunately Airbnb unexpectedly ended their partnership program and a lot of the links got messed up when they did that. I’ve tried to relink as many as possible, but it’s quite tedious! My apologies.
