Ever wondered what it would be like to stay in a life-size Barbie DreamHouse? Well, wonder no more because you can do it for free. No, really.
Airbnb will let you stay in the icon's all-pink Malibu mansion next month as part of the promotional campaign for the upcoming Barbie film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
What's the catch? Although not technically a competition, securing the lucrative booking will no doubt prove to be a difficult process due to the high demand. Well, that and the fact that Ken is hosting and has apparently revamped part of Barbie's Malibu DreamHouse with "everything he loves."

But don't lose your head, Barbie fanatics. The doll's signature pink remains "ever-present" throughout the life-size, toy-inspired home, and she's done plenty of decorating.

The eye-catching promotion is a reworking of a 2019 listing that allowed guests to stay in a less glammed-out version of the DreamHouse for $60 a night.
Booking opens at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, July 17, for two one-night stays for up to two guests on July 21 and July 22, 2023.

Once you arrive and check-in, the listing's "concierge" will show you around the listing's mansion and help arrange your meals. Although the whole experience is free, it's worth noting that the one-night stays are not part of a contest.

"Guests are responsible for their own travel to and from Malibu. This home is privately owned and operated," the listing states.
All visits are free of charge because, apparently, Ken couldn't "figure out how to put a price" on the Malibu DreamHouse.

Here's a list of things that Airbnb said guests can expect to indulge in during their visits:
- The vibrant world that is Ken's wardrobe
- An outdoor disco dance floor
- A breathtaking infinity pool
Not only that, but anyone who manages to book a night will get to take home a personalized set of yellow-and-pink Impala skates and a surfboard.

"We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them," a statement from Ken reads in the press release. "But now, it's my turn, and I can't wait to host guests inside these one-of-a-kind – dare I say, one-of-a-Ken? – digs."
