Gas Station Turns Into Airbnb at Night After Closing

Sanborn and Market Gas in Salinas, CA transforms into an Airbnb each night after it closes. Owner Pete Shen says that for just $50 a night you can fulfill your childhood dream of sleeping at a gas station.

Here’s the listing on Airbnb. It’s in the center of town near the freeway and offers all you can drink, however you’ll need to bring your own air mattress to sleep on.
