Airbnb that’s an air mattress in the back of a car is the UK’s cheapest – but would YOU stay in it?
AN air mattress in the backseat of a car has been revealed to be one of the UK's cheapest Airbnbs, costing just £8 a night.
The host behind the budget accommodation also offers a tent in a garden in a separate listing for the same price.
Airbnb host Desiré Cyprien is offering the "car camping" experience on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent for £8 per night plus a £1 service fee.
, guests will have a choice of two locations for their Airbnb.
It explained: "Sapphire’s Sheppey Car will be parked on Beach Street, directly outside a gated backyard which homes Sapphire’s Sheppey Caravan and Sapphire’s Sheppey Tent.
"You will have access to the private guest toilet tent and an electric socket in the backyard.
"Alternatively, on request the car can be parked at the front of the property and you can have access to the shared WC within the property."
The car comes with shades so you can have a bit of privacy.
In fact, the toilet facilities are shared with another of Desiré's listings - an £8 a night tent in the back garden.
It includes a water bottle and a flask for tea or coffee for guests.
With an additional £1 service charge, it comes with a sleeping bag, air bed and plug socket.
Next door to the dark green structure is the special loo tent, featuring a "cat litter-style toilet" with loo bags that guests are asked to tie up and leave next to the back door.
: "Sleep al fresco in the privacy of a backyard, suited to the adventurous solo to experience Sheerness under the stars, near the beach!"
The cheap rental is next to a ground floor flat, which is vacant, and it is just metres away from the beach.
There is also a leisure centre nearby for showers, which costs £2.
There has only been one guest so far in the tent, Constance, who gave the tent five stars.
She said: "This is a special kind of tent, it is a comfortable bed, I really liked it.
"I swam in the sea in the morning with two lifeguards all to myself in high winds.
"There’s a pool up the road if you need showers."
Desiré, who has a degree in spa management, currently runs five listings in Sheppey.
One of her other listings is as .
She said: "My partner was clearing up the weed on the ground, which revealed this decent sized, unused space.
"I’ve always had the idea of listing a tent, seeing this space just made me go for it.
"Also it would compliment Sapphire’s Sheppey Caravan which is also on site, to potentially accommodate a third guest who truly wants to experience Sheppey under the stars."
She added: "It’s is a new listing and I have had one guest so far.
"She was a lovely lady from London who left me a kind review, visiting Kent on holiday."
The only other listings on AirBnB which cost a similar price to Desiré's tent are campsites where users have to bring their own tents.
It is a far cry from the glamorous 16-person pink mansion in the US, which costs £55 per night.
