It’s safe to say that Airbnb has irrevocably changed the way we travel. Gone are the days when we had to pay minimum $150 to literally stay in a shoebox-sized hotel room with only a bed, lamp and a fridge filled with $20 chocolate bars.
Now, thanks to the holiday rental booking website, your money goes so much further and the options are almost endless. You get to stay in a place that’s already furnished with homely comforts and can even be a little more picky about the neighbourhood you’re staying in.
But we’d be lying if we said we didn’t at least partially choose Airbnb listings based on their Insta-worthiness. It seems Airbnb are onto us, as they’ve taken to posting some of their prettier listings to their Instagram account. And luckily for us, CNBC have compiled all of their most-liked snaps of 2017 into a handy list for our browsing pleasure! Whether you pin them to your 2018 travel Pinterest board or use them for interior inspo for your own home, we guarantee they’re an absolute feast for the eyes.
Tye Haus, Skykomish, Washington

What is it with Washington and super cute, A-frame cabins? This one, which accommodates six guests, wasn’t far behind at 47,400 likes.
Lake house, Lutsen, Minnesota
We can imagine doing some very deep thinking in this lakeside cabin. Preferably by a window, with a cute dog and a coffee — a la this snap, which garnered more than 46,000 likes.
Apartment, Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Ugh, can you just imagine the Instagram pics you could take in this Mexican apartment? “From the waterfall wall filled with orchids, thirty-year-old interesting trees, the Indian monastery door, rounded corners, pleasing colours and a crystal clear clean mini pool surrounded by a white mayan rock walls, the view are beautiful and the feeling is peaceful,” reads the listing. Yes, please!
Treehouse, Atlanta, Georgia
Who wouldn’t want to stay in a treehouse for a night (or seven!) — especially when it looks like this one! It’s a suite of three rooms connected by rope-bridges. Talk about eco-luxury!
Vondel House, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
We’re suckers for any home that features crisp, white interiors and it seems we’re not alone, with this gorgeous Amsterdam apartment attracting more than 42,800 likes.
Apartment, Paris, France
This quintessentially French apartment is one of the more affordable places on the list, currently priced at $138 per night. Don’t be surprised if there’s a bit of a wait list though, considering this post racked up more than 42,400 likes!
Cliff House, Mollymook, New South Wales, Australia

Does it get any more luxe than this top floor, waterfront apartment on NSW’s South Coast? It’s little wonder this snap has been liked more than 38,500 times!
Penthouse, Cape Town, South Africa
Okay, maybe we spoke too soon — this penthouse with 360-degree ocean and city views may actually give the last listing a run for its money in the luxury stakes!
