Unusual Digs in New York City

taxi-1252414_960_720If you’re planning to be in the New York area soon, you know that hotels can cost a fortune. Now, there is one really quirky rental that won’t break the bank – a taxi hotel. Yes, you read that correctly. Ten minutes from Times Square someone is offering guests a taxi to sleep in and is listing his idea on Airbnb. He describes the experience as having “swanky living quarters” and it includes a full-sized bed, plush pillows and blankets. Plus, there is a portable air-conditioning unit in it.

While you can’t get a shower with these accommodations, owner Powley will give you a list of gyms where you can wash up. We kid you not.

Most of the guests to date have been backpackers with adventurous spirits.
