Airbnb typically offers a more unique experience than staying in a conventional hotel, but rarely something like this.
 
The lodging website is offering an opportunity no aquatic lover could refuse: To sleep in an underwater room surrounded by sharks. 
 

Some people swim with the sharks, now you can sleep with the sharks.Sweet dreams!

Oh, and the walls are transparent, allowing you to feel terrified at all hours of the day.
 
“Ever gaze into an aquarium and wonder what it’s like to live under water? Imagine yourself submerged in three million liters, in an aquarium 10 meters deep, alongside 35 of the most majestic creatures on Earth: sharks,” a press release says. “Experience what it’s like, even for a night, to live amongst these feared creatures. This is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sleep in a underwater bedroom, where the only thing separating you from your neighbors is the 360-degree transparent wall.”
 
Three winners – who can each bring a guest -- will be eligible to participate in the sleepover hosted by Aquarium de Paris, which runs from April 11-13.
 
Those interested must submit an essay of up to 550 words about why they should be selected. Apply here if you're interested. 
 
Ground rules for winners are as follows:
 
•No selfies after dark. Remember, sharks are sensitive to light. 
 
•Avoid seeing Jaws before your sleepover. They're kinder than you think! 
 
•No sleepwalking or night swimming. 
 
•Don't eat the chum. 
 
•No diving. 
 
•Keep your heads and feet in the bedroom at all times. 
 
•Sheep can't swim, so count sharks instead. 
 
•Don't take the bait.
