Quetzalcóa­tl’s Nest

-

Mexico City

Would you sleep inside a giant feathered serpent? asked Brooke Porter Katz in Architectu­ralDigest.com. Named after an Aztec creator deity, Nido de Quetzalcóa­tl is an “otherworld­ly, twisting, turning” structure located on Mexico City’s outskirts. Built in 1998 by architect Javier Senosiain, the “aweinspiri­ng” building sits in a private park amid gardens and ponds. It houses 10 apartments, and one of them is for rent through Airbnb. The five-bedroom, four-bathroom space is somewhat bare, “but what it lacks in flash it makes up for in the sheer feeling of wonder you’ll feel just being inside.” airbnb.com; rentals start at $206
