Airbnb's 13 most wish-listed properties in the world for 2023—including an  million home

In January, Airbnb released a list of the most wish-listed new global listings of 2023.

Each of the 13 listings achieved the “most wish-listed” status after being listed for just 10 weeks and may have had some help from several new ways the site can categorize listings — like trending” and “top of the world.” Airbnb introduced that new feature in November 2022.

The 13 locations span six countries and four continents, and range from a tiny home to a guest house on a working family ranch.
