Celebrity homes on AirBnB

Airbnb is our first port of call when we’re heading off on a city break. Whether it’s London, Amsterdam, Barcelona or Paris, those eclectic lofts and quirky houseboats solve all our accommodation dilemmas, and leave us a little leftover cash to spend on sangria. It looks like it’s not just us, either – diva Mariah Carey recently stayed in a luxury Malibu beach house before jetting off to perform across the globe. We’re talking marble floors, multiple dining areas, an indoor pool and huge bathroom – all for the hefty price of $10,000 a night. 



Mariah’s not the only one – celebrities can’t seem to get enough of the home-sharing site, choosing to rent-a-room for both work and play. Rock star Jimi Hendrix made sweet music in this Hawaii Gingerbread House back in the ‘70s, a cute wooden hideaway surrounded by palm and avocado trees. A little more compact than Mariah’s sprawling mansion, this shack is yours for £109 per night.

Benedict Cumberbatch donned his detective hat to film Sherlock in South Wales (‘A Scandal In Belgravia’?! Lies…). You can stay at the scene of the crime for £365 a night; 6 bedrooms, 8 beds, 4.5 bathrooms, this property actually has a touch of Scottish charm about it, despite it’s Welsh position. Pretty grand.

NBA Player Luol Deng $2.5mChicago House

The heat is on—to sell this mansion. Miami Heat forward Luol Deng has relisted his former home in suburban Chicago at a discount.
The two-time NBA All-Star initially attempted to unload the 10,000-square-foot home for $3.5 million after signing with the Heat in 2014. Deng’s home didn’t score with home buyers last year, and now it’s rebounded onto the market at a reduced price of $2.8 million.
With a $700,000 price cut, a buyer can now slam dunk a sweet deal on this home featuring seven bedrooms, five fireplaces, a four-car heated garage, and a library.
Of course, there are high ceilings and spacious rooms, perfect for a 6-foot-9 frame. But nonballers can also appreciate features such as a custom gym, home theater, and bar.
