This is what an Airbnb room specifically designed for 'Netflix and chill' looks like
Ever wanted to stay the night in a meme? Now you can: The Netflix & Chill Room is booking guests for $400 a night.
The room is a special project designed by ART404 and artist Tom Galle, complete with a Netflix-branded comforter, pillowcases, and mini fridge stocked with champagne, wine, spirits, and soda within reach of the bed. There is also, of course, an HD projector, AppleTV, and Netflix account available for all your streaming needs.
The Netflix & Chill room is located in New York City's West Village, but it is only available to rent on Saturdays. "If you have a week of Netflix and Chill nights, the experience would dull over the week. So we want to keep it to that one pinnacle moment," one of the artists who worked on the room, Alyssa Davis, told the New York Daily News.

Despite the implications of the name, the artists assure guests there is no pressure in staying in the Netflix & Chill room. "[Guests] experience something different than just going to a hotel. It's bringing a part of the internet to a real life experience. You don't have to sleep with a girl there or a guy there, we're just bringing the joke to real life," Galle said.
