JOIN THE '50 YEARS OF MOON' CELEBRATION WITH THESE LITERALLY CELESTIAL AIRBNBS

Moon has fascinated us for centuries and that led to a unique romance 50 years ago—between man and the moon. Ever since Neil Armstrong marked his first footprints on the moon, the story of the moon is no more a fairy tale – from whimsical projects that promise a privilege to plan honeymoons on the real moon in the coming future to enthralling missions like Chandrayaan 2 – the moon has come a long way in our lives. To celebrate this 50th anniversary of the very first Apollo 11 moon landing, Airbnb has partnered with five hosts offering you space-inspired lodgings. So you have an option to spend a night in a replica spaceship modelled after the original Apollo 11 or in a UFO Futuro Styled Flying Saucer.
