Headline: The World’s Tiniest Home Is Now On Airbnb

Caption: The world’s tiniest home is now on Airbnb and available for bookings, but there's a catch - guests can’t be any taller than 2cm. The tiny two-story house is a classic redbrick German family home and is located in Hamburg in the miniature city of Knuffingen, right in the heart of world-famous exhibition, Miniatur Wunderland. Before now, Knuffingen was one of the rare few cities without any Homes on Airbnb but it is proud to list its most beautiful family home just in time for Christmas Eve. Tiny visitors will be greeted like honorary citizens. Their journey will start at the world famous Knuffingen airport, a technical masterpiece that took almost six years and four million euros to construct. One of the busiest and most famous cities in Wunderland, Knuffingen measures 120 square meters and has a population of 10,000 tiny people. Passionate railroad enthusiasts can arrive by Christmas train, pull into the town’s tiny station and stare in wonder at the impressive Guinness Book of World Records-certified model railroad system (which has a whopping 15,400 meters of track). A tour around Knuffingen will include a stop at the iconic “Castle Löwenstein.” The castle is a beautiful baroque inspired building, perched on a hillside above the snow-covered city. This time of year Knuffingen is lit up by hundreds of twinkling festive lights and festooned with oodles of seasonal decorations including over 30,000 LEDs. The Home offers everything a tiny guest could possibly need, from the luxurious postage stamp-sized bed to the very festive family room with its open fire and towering four-centimeter-tall Christmas tree. Less is definitely more in the lounge: relax on the comfy thumbnail-sized sofa, saddle up the paper clip- sized rocking horse or get snug as a little bug by the 40-millimeter-wide fireplace. The tiniest items of all are the Christmas stockings over the fire: barely visible to the human eye, they are about the length of a standard pencil tip. Although average-sized guests won’t be able to fit inside this listing’s itty-bitty door, they are invited to book it for $10 a night and unlock the gift of giving this Christmas. The proceeds from each booking of the world’s tiniest listing will go to Hanseatic Help, a charitable social logistics initiative based in Hamburg.
