Who doesn’t remember the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and the mansion we all wanted to live in? Now you can, Will Smith is adding Airbnb Host to his resume by opening the iconic TV home from ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’. It’s been 30 years since the show first aired and Will wants fans to be able to create memories of their own in this famed house.

The familiar residence is just as fly as it was when ‘The Fresh Prince’ called it home. Bold graffiti art, posh interiors, timeless family portraits, and Philly cheese steaks served on silver platters will transport guests to the lap of luxury — auntie and uncle and Carlton not included.
Starting September 29 at 11:00am PDT, (8 pm SAST) groups of up to two Los Angeles County residents will get the chance to book one of five nostalgic stays in Will’s wing of the home on October 2, October 5, October 8, October 11 and October 14 for only $30 a night. This is being done in recognition of the 30 years since the world famous mansion became a pop culture architectural icon.
The stays are for one night each in Will’s wing of the decked-out mansion with access to Will’s posh bedroom and bathroom, a poolside lounge area and an elegant dining room. During this royal overnighter, guests will be treated to some old school fun, Big Willie Style.
Perks include:
- Lacing up a fresh pair of Air Jordans before shooting some b-ball in the bedroom.
- Spinning throwback classics all night on turntables just like DJ Jazzy Jeff’s.
- Donning a fly look from Will’s closet, from argyle prepster to all-star athlete and Bel-Air Athletics gear.
- Soaking up the sun poolside on luxe lounge chairs.
- Being (virtually) welcomed to the mansion by none other than DJ Jazzy Jeff.
Interested guests should note that house rules are in strict adherence with local COVID-19 guidelines, and those who request to book must prove Los Angeles County residency and currently live in the same household to minimise risk. Guests can rest easy in the king-size bed knowing that the home will be cleaned in accordance with CDC rules and consistent with the Airbnb enhanced cleaning protocol.
DJ Jazzy Jeff will also be hosting an Airbnb Online Experience in which he’ll teach guests how to spin & scratch like a hip-hop legend. Guests will get to spend some time with him in his home studio, virtually of course, and spin some vinyl together in honour of the good ‘ol days at the freshest crib in LA. Aspiring DJs can request to book this one-time event starting today at abnb.co/djjazzyjeff, and the experience will take place on October 1.
*The five-time, one-night stays are not a contest.
