You Can Stay In A Michigan Airbnb That Is Called The Caterpillar
As featured in Dwell Magazine, the Caterpillar building in Detroit has gained massive attention since it was constructed. The unique shape and UFO-inspired design have attracted many to purchase their own "sushi slice," as the architect, in collaboration with Ishtiaq Rafiuddin, so lovingly called it in the Dwell Magazine article.
