If you've ever wanted to spend a day in the life of a "Sexy and the City" character, Airbnb is giving you that chance.

Fans of the HBO series can rent a version of Carrie Bradshaw's brownstone for two nights in November for $23 a night.

Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays Bradshaw, is hosting the event.

“The Carrie Bradshaw character is near and dear to my heart, and revisiting her world for the continuation of the Sex and the City story has been such a joy,” said Parker in a press release. “I’m excited for our audience to experience Carrie’s New York like never before and walk in her shoes, quite literally, for the first time.“

Booking for the property, located in New York's Chelsea neighborhood, opens at noon ET on Monday.

The lucky fans will get to stay for one-night stays on Nov. 12 and 13.

According to the listing, guests will receive a virtual welcome from Parker, brunch in Chelsea, cosmopolitans for a toast, and a chance to play dress-up in Carrie’s iconic closet.

For teachers and other educators, it has been a bumpy summer full of unknowns.

Used to delivering answers to students, they are now asking questions about what they can expect during the fall semester.

“It’s a lot of uncertainty,” said Jo Pustizzi, a high school teacher in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The one thing Jo and her husband, Jim, who is also a public school teacher in Colorado Springs, can rely on is the source of income they have been generating from their Airbnb.

Seven years ago, the couple converted their cabin in the Rocky Mountains into a place to stay for out-of-towners looking to escape.

“Jo had to really convince me to do an Airbnb, because we had put so much work into the cabin that I didn’t want someone to abuse it,” Jim said.

Jo and Jim are far from the only ones as well. Airbnb says it has seen more teachers turn to the service as a way to supplement their income.

In 2019, Airbnb says teachers raked in $230 million through rentals. About $81 million of that came during the months of June, July and August, when they were not teaching.

It is a big jump from 2017, when teachers brought in $160 million, $54 million coming during the summer months.

“It’s kind of like our own little business, too, so it is fun,” said Jo. "It’s fun just reading reviews or talking to people on the phone.”

It gives the Pustizzis a way to live their lives a little more loosely as they near retirement age and worry about their pensions amid the pandemic.

It also gives them a chance to look back on reviews knowing they did what they do best: share information and experiences.

"People enjoy the same things that we enjoy and it’s cool,” said Jim.

“It feels good knowing other people are feeling good,” added Jo.

For a couple whose profession and passion is in flux, what more could you ask for?

Airbnb opened the doors of its properties to 20,000 Afghan refugees globally Tuesday and sought assistance from hosts who rent property through the home-sharing company for more free housing for those fleeing the crisis.

"The displacement and resettlement of Afghan refugees in the U.S. and elsewhere is one of the biggest humanitarian crises of our time. We feel a responsibility to step up," said CEO Brian Chesky on Twitter. "I hope this inspires other business leaders to do the same. There's no time to waste."

The UN Refugee Agency said last month that an estimated 270,000 Afghans had been newly displaced inside the country since January – primarily due to insecurity and violence – bringing the total uprooted population to over 3.5 million.

White House officials said 28 U.S. military flights ferried about 10,400 people to safety out of Taliban-held Afghanistan over 24 hours that ended early Monday morning, and 15 C-17 flights over the next 12 hours brought out another 6,660.

Airbnb has a history of making free shelter to those in need through its Airbnb.org.

Since 2012, Airbnb.org has housed 75,000 people fleeing or responding to a crisis, from COVID-19 health workers and earthquake or fire evacuees or responders, to refugees.

Hosts are allowed to sign up for the program through Airbnb.org.

"If you’re willing to host a refugee family, reach out and I’ll connect you with the right people here to make it happen!," Chesky wrote Tuesday.

Airbnb operates in approximately 100,000 cities in almost every country and region across the world.

CINCINNATI —

Airbnb says efforts to cut down on unauthorized parties in Cincinnati are working. The company banned all parties and events at Airbnb listings in August of last year.

Ahead of the Fourth of July holiday weekend, the company is doubling down on those efforts. Changes include blocking guests who do not have a history of positive reviews from booking one-night reservations of entire homes.

Efforts to curb large gatherings during the pandemic led the company to restrict guests under age 25 from certain bookings last summer.

"In the past year, this technology has blocked or redirected potentially risky reservation attempts from more than 2,000 people in Cincinnati," Airbnb said in a news release.

In August, a handyman was shot in Cincinnati's Pendleton neighborhood as he tried to break up a large party at an Airbnb.

"Steven was someone who was really helpful for a lot of us and to see that happen to him was heartbreaking," said Eric Haberthier, president of the Greater Cincinnati AirBnB Owners Association. "The interesting thing about AirBnBs and illegal parties is that it's been a problem for the past 15 months or so, since COVID showed up, but it was really more of an issue at the beginning, the first four months or so."

Haberthier said the association made a list of best practices for Airbnb hosts, which included tips to prevent parties. Those tips include fostering good relationships with neighbors.

"You know when something's not quite right. If it's someone that's local that's planning on staying at your place and they want to have a lot of people, and they're making the reservation on short notice, chances are you should have a conversation first," he said. "We don't want to be seen as party pads in the city. It'd be a terrible reputation. It's not a sustainable way to build a small business. It's not the way we want our property to be treated."

Summer 2021 will undoubtedly look much different than the summer of lockdown in 2020. With mask mandates slowly lifting and vaccination rates on the rise, AAA expects roads in Ohio to be much busier this weekend.

A survey released by AAA Monday morning says over 1.4 million Ohioans plan to travel for Memorial Day weekend, which is about 86% of the people who traveled pre-pandemic.

The poll shows Ohioans have pent-up restlessness after the pandemic forced everyone to sit out for a year. AAA calls it "revenge travel.”

The poll shows 61% of Ohioans who responded plan on taking a trip, and 33% are thinking of taking just a quick get-away. But 18% of respondents are planning on a longer, more extravagant trip.

While people have all this energy for travel, gas prices could be the one roadblock.

According to Gas Buddy, gas prices this Memorial Day weekend will be the highest they've been since 2014, about $2.98 per gallon. That’s up about a dollar from last year's rate.

Most of that increase is due to the Colonial Pipeline Shutdown. The good news is that it should ease up soon, but Gas Buddy predicts demand may drive prices back up this summer.
