Lovers of the iconic ’90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air can finally sit on the throne and enjoy their kingdom in the actual mansion that features in the TV series and be hosted remotely by the show’s star Will Smith.
At a price even the show’s character could afford of only $41 per night, this incredible mansion could be yours for the night – or at least a wing of the mansion. The shoe collection, however, is off limits.
Located in LA’s Brentwood Park, the Airbnb listing offers nightly stays where guests are greeted by a virtual host, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Smith’s socially-distanced mansion concierge to give you the lay of the land. All meals are supplied “on a silver platter, of course”.

Smith, who listed the space with the permission of the home’s actual owners, said on the site:
“Some may say I’ve done it all, but I’ve never opened the doors to a wing of the iconic mansion that helped launch my career. It holds a lot of special memories for me and my friends, and I hope you’ll leave with memories (and a dope handshake!) to last you well beyond your stay.”

During the stay, guests will get to indulge in a few “royal perks” including:
- Lacing up a fresh pair of Jordans before shooting some basketball in the bedroom
- Spinning throwback classics all night on turntables
- Donning a fly look from Smith’s closet,”from argyle prepster to all-star athlete —from experience: both at the same time turns heads!”
But it’s not all about flashy bling and finery. Airbnb has pledged to make a one-time donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia, a program that supports youth, including those in greatest need, by offering development and skill-building programs, recreational activities and empowerment tools. It is a cause close to Philadelphia-native Smith’s heart.

The actor also addressed the current pandemic crisis and assured would-be guests that their safety was his top priority.
Guests will have a wing of the manor to themselves from check-in to check-out, with no other guests in the house during their stay, “not even a family member from Philly”.
“And you can rest easy in your prince…er, KING-size bed knowing that I’ve committed to cleaning prior to your arrival in accordance with Airbnb’s enhanced cleaning protocol.”
Bookings for the one-night stays on five dates in October open at the end of September. Sadly, only LA County residents are in the running to spend a night in the Fresh Prince’s shoes.
