This Is How A $4,758 Russian Airbnb Looks Like

If you're attending a World Cup game in Russia, why not leave the sweaty hooligans at the end of the match and come home to luxury?

Airbnb continues to gain popularity in Russia, allowing tourists and other travelers to rent anything from a small and cheap room to a luxury apartment with everything included to comfortably spend the night. This home in St. Petersburg is believed to be one of the luxurious (and expensive!) Airbnbs in Russia.

Available for $4,758 per night, this home is said to feature a large bed that was once used by Marie Antoinette, who was the Queen of France from 1774 until 1792, making her the last Queen before the French Revolution. The home gained popularity and publicity ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which included games in the city of St. Petersburg.

In addition to a bed used by Queen Marie Antoinette, a reservation also grants you access to 3 bedrooms, each of which features large beds for 2 people, as well as 2 full bathrooms (a bathtub and a gold-colored shower) plus a toilet. The home also includes a number of large rooms with space for up to 200 guests - plenty of room to host a party! If the owner approves, of course.

In addition to luxury bedrooms and bathrooms, this big apartment also features genuine antiques, a piano, and gorgeous paintings, some of which cover the ceiling. There are also meeting rooms and a large kitchen with all the modern appliances you might need during your stay.

All in all, this home in St. Petersburg might be one of the most unique Airbnb apartments in the world. Its unique interior will make you feel as if you're sleeping in the 18th century - in a large bed once used by the Queen of France! If you only need an Airbnb room to crash and sleep before quickly heading out, this might not be the room for you. It would be a shame to rent this home without taking time to properly explore it.

Across Russia, nearly 50,000 apartments are being offered on Airbnb as local landlords seek to join the Airbnb boom which has been seen in many countries around the world. Prices in Moscow have risen as much as 400% over the past few years, according to a recent report from RBTH, reflecting the rising popularity in the Russian capital. Prices surged even more during the FIFA World Cup.

Travelers who plan to visit Russia in the near future and want to rent through Airbnb should be aware that, to be approved for a tourist visa, the host will need to provide you with a formal invitation for the dates of your visit. This can make renting through Airbnb a little more complicated, as many of the bigger hotels offer a more simplified process to extend an invitation.

St. Petersburg is the second-largest city in Russia, home to more than 5.2 million people. In addition to Moscow, it is one of the most popular travel destinations in the country. It can be reached by plane, train, car, and international cruise liners.
