"Now that my work is posthumously appreciating in value and recognition, it?s only fair that artistic souls be invited to my magnificent home," said Delia.

What to expect

Here?s what you can expect, according to Airbnb:

  • Upon your arrival, her (after)lifelong assistant will usher you inside. Feel free to wander and soak in the glory of Delia?s ingenuity and exquisite artwork. You never know what you?ll find.
  • If you choose to go knocking around the attic, at least admire the Maitlands? model of Winter River. Even Delia must admit it?s impressive (although a bit dreary).
  • If you choose to say HIS name, don?t be surprised if some really strange things happen. You may even find yourself in The Afterlife. Follow the glowing green light into the Waiting Room with the rest of the recently deceased.
  • Once you get through the Waiting Room, you?ll find yourself in a disorienting hallway. Peek through the keyholes, but don?t open any doors unless you want to be eaten by sandworms or wind up in that demon?s favorite haunt, Dante?s Inferno.
  • After your otherworldly escapades, Delia has arranged an unforgettable art class where you?ll unleash your collective fears.
  • Delia?s assistant will shoo you from the house before it gets too late. Due to some recent ? ?spiritual difficulties,? it?s best if you don?t stay overnight. Don?t worry, they?ve found a lovely Airbnb for you nearby.
