- On a trip to Vienna, I stayed in an Airstream trailer for the first time.
- I found the 22-foot-long trailer on Airbnb and paid $300 for a two-night stay.
I'm pretty much a pro when it comes to staying in tight spaces.
I've booked small, unique accommodations in the US, Canada, and Europe, from tiny-home hotels to a repurposed wine barrel, and I usually have a pretty good time despite the lack of room to roam.
When I traveled to Vienna, Austria, in October 2023, I wanted an affordable, atypical accommodation. So I booked two nights in a luxury Airstream trailer that I found on Airbnb.
I'd never stayed in an Airstream before, but I always envisioned it as an ideal accommodation style for a remote glamping experience in a natural setting such as a desert or forest. And I thought it was interesting to see one in a city.
I paid $150 a night, though the nightly price has increased since my trip. I expected it to be a small space, but it was also too cramped, and the city environment was too loud for a good night's sleep.
