You can rent some pretty classy places on Airbnb — the country of Lichtenstein, say, or a Swiss ski resort. But how could those places possibly compare to a 25,000 sq ft TV studio in the heart of historic Burbank, California, steps from the Warner Bros. commissary?
That — at least in theory — is what late-night luminary Conan O’Brien started offering on Airbnb Tuesday. (Here’s the listing.) The “cozy and charming” one-bathroom studio also offers “a celebrity-grazed sleeper sofa”, a “40 ton industrial air conditioning system,” a kitchenette with its own intern, “25 LCD television monitors (no HBO),” and a shower, though apparently that must be shared with guest bands.
All this for the bargain price of $1 per night — though you’d better book fast. Only four nights are available, from Oct. 10 through Oct. 13. Potential guests are required to send emails to Team Coco explaining why they’d like the room. So far, it seems, no one has made the cut.
We’ll see if the show actually follows through on its amusing stunt (note to Team Coco: Team Mashable is interested, and will definitely bring its own linen.) We’ll also see if this helps distract from what turned out to be a pretty bad summer for Airbnb.
