We've seen everything from igloos to treehouses, but this weird Airbnb listing really pushes the boundaries of what constitutes a "private room".
Though accommodation is often expensive in London, a lucky traveller could have landed a £8 (NZ$17) room, with just one small catch - it was in the middleof an outdoor carpark in Peckham.
Advertised as a "private room in a public space", it included a double bed, bedside table and dresser, as well as being pet and child friendly, disability-accessible and open to smokers.
However, renters would have to contend with having no internet, TV, heating, bathroom facilities, electricity, or walls - just as London heads towards winter.
Whether or not it won the dubious honour of "the worst Airbnb listing ever", is still up for debate.
In January, a New York man built an igloo in his back yard, following a massive snowstorm.
He described it as a "Boutique winter igloo" in Brooklyn, and listed it on Airbnb for US$200 (NZ$300) a night. That listing was also promptly removed by the site.
Earlier this month, a group of friends got the shock of their life when they discovered a dead body in the backyard of an Airbnb house in Paris they had rented for a weekend party.
Suffice to say, the party was cancelled and police were called.
