Last month, Airbnb released the deets on its new global listings—showcasing 13 properties that have been the most "wish-listed" for 2023 after being on the site for just ten weeks. The 13 locations span six countries and four continents and include everything from a tiny home and luxury villa all the way through to a guest house on a working family ranch and a horizontal skyscraper. (Oh, and spoiler alert: there's an Aussie winner lurking on the list!).
