If you grew up in the 90s, chances are ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ was one of your favorite shows. Or at the very least, you’ve heard of it, maybe even watched it since its been in syndication. From Will Smith’s outfits and jabs at Uncle Phil to Carlton’s iconic dance, this 90s show is the perfect combination of comedy and heart. Well, good news to fans: Will Smith has listed the Bel-Air mansion on Airbnb!
Even though the outside of the house was just used as a facade and the inside scenes were in a studio, Smith has thrown in everything we all loved about the show into the inside of the actual mansion. Smith is doing this to celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary. There are a few catches though: it’s only available for 5 days in October “2,5,8,11, and 14”, you have to live in Los Angeles and only two people who already live together can stay together because of COVID-19, and you can only rent the mansion for of those nights (ladbible.com 2). The price per night, however, is only $30! This is also in honor of the anniversary date. How cool is this going to be!
Sneak Peek of the Inside
Airbnb released a statement about the upcoming listing saying:
“The ‘Fresh Prince’ will turn things upside down – once again – for the town where his reign began. The actor and entrepreneur is adding Airbnb host to his long resume and opening the doors to his former ‘kingdom,’ so fans can create some memories of their own.”
As you can see from the interior, it’s going to be straight out of the 90s. It will be complete with “bold graffiti art, posh interiors, timeless family portraits, and Philly cheesesteaks served on silver platters” (ladbible.com 2). If only I lived in L.A. I would definitely try to snag a night in the mansion. Thought I think having a visit from Will himself would really put it over the top, don’t you think? Will Smith, if you read this, keep that in mind. You’ve been through it lately, come hang out with some of your Fresh Prince fans! Maybe even get Jiggy With It!
There will also be an HBO cast reunion special later this year, though when and if it will be HBO or HBO Max has not been announced yet. Lots to look forward to! Stay safe and wear those masks!
