An self-proclaimed adventurer and explorer claims he has discovered one of the “coolest and quirkiest” Airbnb properties – and he believes it is perfect for a short staycation escape.
Adam took to TikTok to show off the distinctive accommodation, which offers visitors the opportunity to sleep inside an authentic jet plane. He began a video by providing a tour of the aircraft’s exterior, which features a hot tub, sauna and shower.
“As you can tell behind me, this isn’t just any stay – it is a very large Boeing 727,” Adam continued, highlighting that he had lowered the stairs into the cabin ready for him to board. Naturally, the rooms inside are relatively narrow, but Adam noted the plane comes with everything you could ever need during your trip.
Beginning with the living space, which features two rows of seating from the 727’s time as a passenger plane either side of a dining table. “I believe its from the 1960s,” Adam explained.
“There are so many switches on this plane,” he added as he headed down a corridor to the master bedroom. He then highlighted the luxury double bed still contains a “strap for safety” for “night flights”, whilst noting the room comes equipped with an en-suite bathroom and shower, as well as a sofa, table and two reclining chairs.
“How cool is this?” Adam gushed, passing another bathroom on his way to the “area you will be spending most of your time”.
Here, a second living space is furnished with more sofas and reclining chairs and a TV linked to a mirror enabling guests to watch at either end of the room. Adam continued with his exploration, making his way towards the aircraft’s nose where he discovered a single bedroom situated across the aisle from a charming kitchen area, equipped with hob, oven, sink and “everything you might need” – including a dishwasher, fridge and freezer.
He left the “coolest part” until the very front of the aircraft as his exploration drew to a close, however. Donning a pilot’s cap, Adam squeezed himself into the cockpit, which remains fitted out exactly as it would have been during the aircraft’s operational days in the skies.
The Airbnb, located in Brislington on the outskirts of Bristol, boasts an outstanding guest rating of 4.82 out of 5 from 103 reviews. The accommodation, which caters for four guests, is promoted by its owner as “your chance to live like a billionaire at 32”.
“This Boeing 727 airliner has the original 1980’s private jet interior,” it states. “Walnut panelling, gold details and crystals adorn this exquisite space ideal for nights away. It has two lounge spaces, a king-sized bed, two single beds, three toilets, a shower, full kitchen and a fully-fitted cockpit.”
The latest review of the Airbnb makes for remarkable reading, with the visitor commending: “This is a great and special place. You can tell, this property was a passion project and was overflowing with character. Good and clear check in instruction video. Check in and check out was perfect.
“Would recommend staying at a weekend, as its location in an industrial estate wouldn’t have a lot of privacy in the week. Loved it so much, am already thinking of the next excuse to stay.”
The only drawback of this Airbnb, however, as highlighted by a number of TikTok users, is its location in the “middle of an industrial estate, lacking nearby amenities other than a McDonald’s”.
