Would you pay $10,000 per night for an Airbnb?

Want to cash-in on the festivals and events that draw people to your home city? You may be a prime candidate for the sharing economy. According to recent Airbnb data there are more than 15,000 hosts in Ontario that make money off the sharing economy and more than half of these home-hosts are in metro Toronto. And why not? Rent out your place for just three or four nights per month and you could pull in an extra $3,900 per year—the average take-home of a host, says Airbnb. But if you really want to make some dosh, consider getting into the luxury rental business. We swept the Airbnb listings for the most expensive places you could stay in Canada, for a last-minute one-night stay*:

British Columbia luxury Airbnb stays

Vancouver: $10,072 per night

Vancouver: $2,457 per night

Heritage Woods, Port Moody: Want a place with your own personal home theatre? Consider this five bedroom, four bathroom home in Port Moody, near Vancouver, B.C.

Victoria: $542 per night

Downtown: While this Airbnb hosts only asks $359 per night, the cleaning fee of almost $125 and a service fee of just under $60 pushes a one-night stay to just under $550 for this three-bedroom downtown Victoria townhouse. The space offers room for up to six adults to stay and play. It has on site-parking but guests may prefer to walk the two short blocks to local restaurants and stores.

Alberta luxury Airbnb stays

Calgary: $1,500 per night

Inner city gem: Need a place for up to six guests, this three bedroom is close the city and public transportation and offers a large backyard deck. But don’t bother booking if you’re bringing pets or have kids between the ages of two and 12. (For more, see the host’s site.)

Side-by-side loft: Are you planning a ski or snowboarding trip to Banff/Lake Louise this winter? Well, you may want to consider the side-by-side loft option in Banff.

Located in Canmore, you’re only minutes to Banff National Park gages. It may be worth it, however, to plan more than one night stay, considering the one-time cleaning fee is $248 and the one-time service fee is $85.

Canmore: $732 per night

Two-bedroom condo near Banff: Taking a ski-trip or just taking in the Banff National Park sights? A stay at a two bedroom Worldmark suite, by Wyndham Resorts, will set you back $732 per night. Exclude the $129 cleaning fee and factor in the fact that the condo can comfortably sleep up to six people in the four beds (2 bedroom) suite and this luxury Airbnb rental could be more cost-effective than a hotel. It’s only seven miles from Banff National Park and less than an hour’s drive to the world famous Lake Louise. Even better, this condo is close to downtown Canmore. (For more, see the host’s site.)

Canmore: $643 per night

One-bedroom condo: This one-bedroom in Canmore offers two beds and comfortable sleeping arrangements for up to four guests. The fact that it’s located on a resort means the grounds are well kept and the security is top-notch. Plus, if you rent the place in the warmer months you can use the private pool located on the grounds. But with a service and cleaning fee just under $200, you may want to consider either a longer stay. (For more, see the host’s site.)
