The phrase 'sleeping with the fishes' has taken a new meaning as online lodging service Airbnb is set to offer among its listings a one-night stay for two at an aquarium full of sharks.
Interestingly, the rare opportunity of sleeping in an underwater bedroom in the 10-meter deep Shark Aquarium will be completely free of charge as it is part of a competition held by Airbnb, supported by the Aquarium de Paris, which opened in 1867 and is conveniently situated right in front of the Eiffel Tower.
The aquarium's first sleepover, hosted by world-record breaking freediver Fred Buyle, will welcome three lucky winners and their guests between April 11 and 13. Buyle reportedly would entertain the guests by dancing among the sharks and give a private tour around the aquarium.
The competition is open to almost all global citizens, including Indonesians, as the prize includes economy class round-trip tickets to Paris and a private dinner for two, with a total value of approximately 2,000 euros (US$2,262).
The experience is part of Airbnb's monthly Night At events that basically tranform iconic spaces into homes for just one night. Previous unforgettable stays include spending the night suspended in a cable car-turned-luxury apartment 2,743 meters above the ground in France's Courchevel ski resort and staying at the home of the Chicago Bulls.
