Unique Airbnbs are all the rage, whether a castle, chalet, cabin in the woods or a treehouse in the treetops — and who better to know what can make a great and unique Airbnb stay than travel bloggers? As such, travel bloggers Jessica Serna and Ismail Mpiana of My Curly Adventures introduced a new Airbnb in Waco, Texas, dubbed Casa Kumwesu. (The name, which stems from the couple’s Mexican, Zambian and Congolese roots, essentially means “our home.”)

So, what can you expect when you stay here? Sweet dreams, for one: This expansive space is all about the ice cream, with lots of color and whimsy. There’s a lip-shaped couch in the living room, ice cream cone light fixtures dangling from the ceiling and a paint job that looks like melting ice cream falling from the ceiling. Grab an ice cream cone stool at the coffee bar or take the pastel spiral staircase to the loft space. The property is 2,300 square feet, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, space enough to sleep eight people.

Just can’t get enough of the property’s style, but don’t have any plans to travel to Waco soon? You can shop the house via the couple’s blog.
