Last New Year's Eve was Airbnb's biggest night for group stays in its nine-year history. So this year, if you're planning a getaway to bring in 2018, the short-term rental platform is ready with apartments and houses perfect for groups — big or small.

To help you plan the perfect celebration, we've selected a handful of New Year's Eve-ready Airbnbs where you can gather with your best friends and closest relatives.

Also, this week Airbnb announced a new split-payment method, which could make rounding up your favorite people easier. When you request an Airbnb that is eligible for split payment, the host will hold your chosen dates for 72 hours. Everyone in your group must then log into Airbnb during that time to pay their share, and once the host receives full payment, the reservation is yours.

Whether you're planning a big night out in the city or a cozy house for a New Year's Eve getaway, these rentals offer comfort, luxury, and a memorable experience.
