Win a stay in a tiny house designed by tiny comedian Kevin Hart

Kevin Hart might be the first guy you go to for a laugh, but he’s typically not the first guy you’d go to for home decor decisions. But the star of the upcoming film Night School appears to be pretty skilled at the latter as well, judging by the tiny house he helped put together.

Teaming with Booking.com, Hart created a 268-square-foot tiny home that is curated perfectly to the comedian’s liking. Located smack-dab in the middle of Manhattan in Herald Square, the house is a cozy getaway that is trumped in size by Hart’s mansion-like home in California but provides plenty of comfort in its own right.

Hart won’t be living in the tiny home, though. Instead, Booking.com is giving away a chance to stay overnight in the house; it will open up Thursday, September 27. The lucky guest will also get a pair of tickets to Hart’s sold-out stand-up show, part of his Irresponsible Tour, set to take place that evening at Madison Square Park. Lucky guests will also get dinner at Lambs Club, Hart’s favorite restaurant in New York City.

After its brief pop-up stay in Manhattan, the tiny home will be relocated to Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. There, it will take up permanent residence within Tiny Estates, the largest community of tiny homes according to USA Today. Visitors will be able to book the home at any time through Booking.com once it has landed in Elizabethtown. Travelers can rent it for as low as $54 — a play on Hart’s height of 5 feet, 4 inches — though it will be priced at $175 a night once at Tiny Estates.

What exactly will you get during that stay? Well, Hart’s curated home features an outdoor seating area along with a standard bed, full bath, kitchen, and living room on the inside. Hart has stocked the home with some of his favorite amenities, including Amazon Alexa, an iPad, and a coffee maker. He’s also generously provided patrons with a full collection of his stand-up specials and films and a copy of his book I Can’t Make This Up.

A stay in Hart’s home will certainly be one that you can’t make up and will have to experience yourself. Even if you don’t try out Hart’s, there are still plenty of tiny homes out there for you to stay at if you’re looking for something modest but charming.

Each camera enables you to see an entire area with 1080p HD picture in full colour. That includes at night, all via the Roku Smart Home app. It’s possible to set specific motion detection zones so you can cut down on false alerts while the camera can detect motion or sound with smart sensors even detecting body heat so you won’t see them be activated by something like a curtain moving in the wind.

Anker SOLIX X1 offers effective solar power storage for your home backup
Anker SOLIX X1 solar battery storage outside with family nearby

A major challenge of solar power as a primary energy source is that, as abundant as it is, it's not always available. Solar systems do not generate energy at night, obviously, but energy production is reduced during overcast, dark, or stormy days. Moreover, other factors can affect energy production, like the cleanliness or condition of the solar panels and the amount of sunlight they get during the day -- which can be influenced by the sun's location in the sky or where the panels are installed -- and much more. It simply means that to use solar energy systems effectively, you need some kind of storage device to preserve energy for use during the off-hours. While several products on the market do this, the X1 from Anker SOLIX is one of the most intriguing and powerful solar energy storage systems we’ve seen.
