Airbnb is becoming more and more popular among tourists travelling around the world.
It allows people to stay almost anywhere in the world, often for a fraction of the price of a hotel.
With its growing popularity, more people are using the service when they visit Ireland, this is reflective of a new list they released.
The company have put together a list of all the neighbourhoods to watch in 2017. This is based on a hike in popularity in those areas.
On the list of 17 places, there has been a significant increase in popularity in each of the neighbourhoods.
Dublin featured at number 15, specifically The Phoenix Park area.
