Dec. 1 (UPI) -
- The house made famous by the exterior shots in Christmas classic Home Alone is available for rent on Airbnb -- but watch out for the booby traps.
The Winnetka, Ill., home, which was prominently featured in the 1990 film starring Macaulay
Culkin, is being listed for a single one-night stay scheduled for Dec. 12.
The listing is being hosted by "Buzz," actor Devin Ratray's older brother to Culkin's Kevin McCallister.
"You may not remember me as particularly accommodating," Buzz wrote in the Airbnb announce- ment, "but I've grown up, and I'd be happy to share my family home -- my pizza, even -- with you this holi- day season. Just try not to let my tarantula, Axl, loose this time."
The stay includes holiday decora- tions, booby traps inspired by the film, pizza and a candlelit dinner of microwavable Kraft Macaroni & Cheese.
The $25 stay for four guests will also include a screening
of Home Sweet Home Alone, the latest film in the franchise, and the new Home Alone Lego set.
The house will be available for booking starting Dec. 7.

Nov. 29 (UPI) -
- Swedish furni- ture company Ikea is offering a "Tiny Home" apartment in Tokyo for the price of less than $1 a month for one year.
Ikea said the 107- square-foot apart- ment in Shinjuku district will be rented out on a one-year lease for a price of $0.86 per month,
not
including utilities.
The company is accepting applica- tions from prospective ten- ants, who must be at least 20 years old, until Dec. 3.
The apartment is being furnished with Ikea prod- ucts.
"One of the keys is to make good use of the vertical space," the com- pany said on its website. "By cap-
tur-
ing the room three-dimension- ally, new possibili- ties open up in a limited space."
Ikea is promoting the Tiny Home with a series of videos featuring a person in a shark costume portray- ing a real estate agent. The videos feature the shark, named Blahaj, decorating the apartment with help from an Ikea interior design specialist.
