Airbnb is giving luxury a try.
According to the company's press release, Airbnb Luxe will give users access to over 2,000 exclusive properties around the world. Users can stay in high-end properties ranging from the Fleming Villa in Jamaica where Ian Fleming wrote his novels to a sky loft in Darlinghurst, Australia.
Each property is judged on design and functionality and put through a 300-point evaluation that measures everything from kitchen appliances to bedroom and bathroom ratios. The home is then re-evaluated by a global design expert and visited in person before it's accepted, an Airbnb representative told Business Insider.
