The gas station is in the town of Salinas, California

Pay $ 170 per night to stay in a city in California and still be entitled to ice cream and drinks will seem, at first glance, an unmissable opportunity, right?

It is just that what he was offering a "residence" registered in Airbnb, now the largest site of tourist accommodation in the world rental.

The site, however, is not a house, apartment or something. It is a gas station located in Salinas, 180 kilometers from San Francisco.

The owner said the place on Airbnb saying that tourists could use the facilities between 10 pm and 5 am, during which the business is closed. The daily cost came to $ 50.

Guests, however, would have to bring their own sleeping bags, because the post does not have beds. On the other hand, some convenience shop products such as ice cream and soft drink could be eaten at will by travelers.

The announcement also promised a great location in Salinas, a city not far known to have great tourist attractions.

The unusual character of the place caught the attention of American television channels, who came to interview the owner of the gas station. "We also have bathrooms and hot water," he told KSBW channel, stating expect the "unusual experience" would attract adventurers.

The idea, however, did not prosper. The accommodation was removed from the air by the Airbnb not fit in the comfort standards required by the site.

And is not the first time there is such a situation.

Earlier this year, a netizen announced an outdoor parking and accommodation on Airbnb. The place had even with a mattress and a nightstand placed on the asphalt. But his fate was the same gas station, leaving the air quickly.
