Airbnb is having a moment right now. Not a good moment. Don't get me wrong, the properties themselves can be super cool, however the overbearing owners, the false advertising, the ludicrous fees, and of course, the inability to book them 3rd party or get a commission on them is a huge suck-fest. But there's no denying that Airbnb has some amazingly unique properties for personal travel planners to recommend to their clients. Take a look at these 9 unique Airbnb properties.
