Zweli Mbhele (from 947 Afternoons) catches up on the latest pop culture news, including Airbnb’s latest iconic home recreation.
Listen below.
After inviting you to 'Shrek’s Swamp' and 'Barbie’s Dream House', Airbnb is exploring Pixar’s ‘Up’ house.
Listed by Carl Fredricksen (from the movie), the one-bedroom, one-bathroom home is now listed on Airbnb.
A detailed copy of the home from the 2009 movie was created in New Mexico.
Not a single detail was spared, including the 8,000 balloons.
According to the listing, it floats too!
Mbhele isn’t quite sold on the idea of being suspended in the air.
“Imagine you forget you are all the way up in the sky and you’re thinking ‘let me go for a walk’… Gravity is getting the better of you so do it at your own risk.”
