Planning a vacation is all fun and games ... until it's time to pay the bill. But the next time you plan a big escape, instead of shelling out major cash for a hotel room, why not stay in a house, all to yourself, for a fraction of the price?
We decided to troll Airbnb.com to find some affordable accommodations that are easy on the eyes and the wallet. We chose a Saturday night in June (the 11th, to be exact) and found properties from all over the world that cost $200 and under per night. Go ahead, book that plane ticket.
