Airbnb offers private chefs and massages as it revamps app


The short-term rental firm says it is aiming to offer a wider range of experiences for travellers.

Airbnb says users will now be able to book luxury services like personal trainers, massages and chefs on its redesigned app as it continues to expand beyond its core short-term rentals business.

This includes playing beach volleyball in Rio de Janeiro with Olympian Carol Solberg or spending a Sunday with National Football League superstar Patrick Mahomes.
