In the past 12 years, Airbnb hosts have earned $150 billion worldwide, with U.S. hosts earning almost half. And it’s not just the veteran hosts who are making the most of this opportunity.
New U.S. Airbnb listings garnered $1.8 billion in rentals last year, up 34 percent from two years ago. One of the latest hosts is straight from Netflix – design expert and Emmy Award-nominated host of Netflix’s Queer Eye, Bobby Berk
He applied everything he knew about interior design and hospitality to his latest project. Berk became a host in one of the most in-demand Airbnb locations – a California destination outside of a city center.
His reinvented Palm Desert property is dubbed “Casa Tierra” (meaning ‘house of the earth’) as a nod to its incredible location nestled in the cliffs of Palm Desert, 30 minutes outside of Palm Springs, California.
Yet, this large modern property still feels cozy and welcoming due to its attention to detail. Enjoy the pool, hot tub on cool nights, bocce ball court, state-of-the-art movie room, and yoga and mediation areas.
