A man decided to make use of the New York snow by putting up an igloo and trying to advertise it on Airbnb on Sunday.
Patrick Horton, a Brooklyn man, and his roommates thought it would be a good joke to advertise their "boutique" igloo in their backyard on India Street in Greenpoint for just $200.
"Dripping with ingenuity and alt-lifestyle aura lays this Snowpocalypse's most desirable getaway," Horton posted on the rental service website, according to the New York Post. "Built completely by hand all natural. Come experience this chic dome-style bungalow with Bae," he added.
His entrepreneurial dream, however, was taken down by the site.
"We figured someone might want to take their Tinder date there and would be willing to pay for it. How many girls could say that they were taken on a date in an urban igloo? Not many," Horton said, according to the New York Daily News.
"I think we'll try to put it on Craigslist. We might even offer a Tinder special. Maybe throw in some Usher (background music) and a bottle of wine," he added.
Airbnb appreciated Horton's efforts but said the igloo did not meet the service's specific requirements.
"We are happy to see that you guys are staying busy and having fun during Blizpocalypse," an Airbnb representative said, according to Inside Edition. "Unfortunately, your igloo, while very well constructed, has failed to meet our occupancy standards and has been removed from search results."
"Be sure to pick a place with running water, electricity, and a roof that doesn't melt," it added.
