With more than 1.5 million home listings worldwide, Airbnb gives users the chance to rent out people's homes all over the world. We culled some of the most outrageous properties around the world from Airbnb's Instagram account — check them out and prepare for some serious wanderlust.

Bonus: they're environmentally friendly, too. According to a recent study, home sharing is far less resource-intensive than more traditional lodging. A survey of 8,000 travelers found that those who use Airbnb consume 63 percent less energy, and produce 32 percent less waste than your average hotel guest.
