Art lovers can step into a famous Vincent Van Gogh painting after an Airbnb rental was created to look like one of the artist’s masterpieces.
The bedroom, designed in the style of Bedroom in Arles, was created ahead of the launch of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Van Gogh’s Bedrooms exhibition.
The modest room, which contains a double bed, two chairs, a bedside table and comes complete with Wi-Fi, in the River North area of Chicago is being rented out for just £7 [$10] a night.
The listing, advertised by ‘Vincent’, reads: “This room will make you feel like you're living in a painting.
“It's decorated in a Post-Impressionist style, reminiscent of Southern France and times gone by.
“Its furniture, bright colours, and artwork will give you the experience of a lifetime.”
One visitor named Heidi said she “thoroughly enjoyed” her stay in the room, adding “the hand-written note and flowers were a very nice touch.”
Another reviewer, Brian, said he felt like he “stepped into the painting”.
He added: “Waking up this morning in the midst of it was such a delight. This painting is my favorite painting, so I'll cherish my stay here for the rest of my life.
“Vincent was such a gracious host. Even though he couldn't be there to greet me, he left a kind, handwritten note and two tickets to see the "Van Gogh's Bedroom" exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago. What a treat.”
