Last week we told you about a hotel room in a converted double-decker bus from London.

Now the New York Times has found an Airbnb listing for a stay in a decommissioned New York City yellow cab.

Parked in the waterfront community of Long Island City in Queens, the taxi boasts excellent views of the Manhattan skyline and, at only $39 per night, quite possibly the cheapest accommodations in all of New York.

On the other hand, there's no bathroom and you have to sleep in the back of a decommissioned New York City taxicab.

What's next? Hotel rooms in old subway cars?

Ugh, we get shivers just typing that.
