Airbnb has definitely had some interesting options for rent, but this time the company is taking its business the artistic route by allowing individuals to rent Claude Monet's house in the small village of Giverny in Normandy, France. This will, no doubt, be a one-of-a-kind experience for art lovers, especially those who subscribe to the soft brushes and ethereally bright colors of the Impressionist movement.
The Blue House is a three-bedroom dwelling. It was fully renovated back in 2016 and now, Airbnb is offering it to users for $201 USD per night. Aside from the amenities one expects a house to have — a kitchen, a living room and so on, Claude Monet's house has another appeal. Guests will be able to survey the garden that "served as inspiration for the painter's masterpieces."
