Airbnb disasters and how to avoid them

AIRBNB is celebrating its tenth anniversary and with it, it’s released a list of its top ten most wish-listed properties of all time.

From a super affordable cottage in Bali, to a cave in Santorini and a rainforest cabin in Colombia, the list includes some very quirky rentals, The Sun reports.
