Ever wanted to live like your favorite TV family? Well, now you can put a dollar figure on that dream.
An Empire Today study, which is exclusive to TheWrap, priced popular television show residences as if they were listed on a short-term rental site, a la Airbnb or VRBO. The home improvement company then cross-referenced the fictional characters’ homes to actual comparable listings on those real rental sites.

Still, Airbnb and VRBO are both solid alternatives to traditional hotels. Check both websites out for plenty of cool non-TV cribs to crash in on your next vacation.
