International Business Times, UK - A new venture offers budget travelers million-dollar views of Manhattan for about $39. Adventurous travelers can sleep overnight in a taxi, van or camper parked on the street in New York City.
Entrepreneur Jonathan Powley started offering the rentals in April on the Airbnb website. He said the idea came to him after his van broke down on the side of the road. Powley said he now rents what he calls "rolling rooms" inside three vans, two campers and one taxi. While the prices vary, Powley said the lowest price for a night is $22.
Each of the vehicles has been converted to accommodate a large bed, a fan and not much else. All the vehicles are parked in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens, just across the East River from Manhattan.
