MINNEAPOLIS -- For a short time, up to 100 Prince fans visiting the music superstar's hometown will have a place to stay when the party's over that will let them go crazy over his cultural legacy, a home featured in the film “Purple Rain.”

While the white, two-story home with brown trim in Minneapolis might appear unassuming from the outside, its interior holds treasures that will send the late icon's admirers into a frenzy over this new, limited-time Airbnb rental. Upstairs, a spacious closet adorned with paisley wallpaper and a leopard-spotted floor showcases iconic outfits worn by Prince behind glass, with other outfits available for renters to embody their own inner Prince.

"Guests can channel their inner rock star by trying out a selection of iconic '80s outfits, looks, and styles," said Ali Killam, an Airbnb spokesperson.

These rentals are within reach for fans who aren't rolling in diamonds and pearls — just $7 a night per person for up to four guests. This price is based on Prince’s favorite number and there will be a total of 25 nightly stays available over seven weeks from Oct. 26 to Dec. 14.

These Airbnb rentals are a reflection of the times — the 40th anniversary of the movie. The film starred Prince as The Kid, a talented musician and band leader grappling with a tumultuous life in the very house featured on screen.

The film, along with its accompanying chart-topping album, catapulted Prince to superstardom with hits like the title track, “Let's Go Crazy,” and “When Doves Cry.” These followed earlier successes, including “1999” and “Little Red Corvette,” leading to sales exceeding 100 million records. His music transcended genres, blending rock, funk, and soul in a way that defied categorization. Prince passed away on April 21, 2016, at the age of 57 at his Paisley Park estate in Chanhassen, Minnesota, due to an accidental fentanyl overdose.

These rentals are hosted by Lisa Coleman and Wendy Melvoin, longtime friends and collaborators of Prince's, on behalf of Airbnb, the late musician's estate, and Warner Bros. Discovery, a global media company.

In the home's basement, visitors can sleep in a replica of The Kid's bedroom from the film, complete with lavender pillows and a 1980s-style cassette player. A lounge provides an opportunity for guests to play guitar, drums, or an upright piano. Throughout the house, QR codes offer access to commentary from the hosts.

"The goal is to truly immerse guests in The Kid's world,” explained Killam.

As a homage to Prince, his career, and enduring impact, the estate features an abundance of his signature color, purple. A prominent wall art piece depicting purple bananas serves as a reference to the song “Let's Go Crazy,” according to Killam.

For those eager to experience Prince's legacy, online booking for the Paisley Park estate opens on October 2nd at 6:00 AM Pacific Time and closes on October 6th at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. Airbnb will select potential guests randomly, and the final invitations will be based on applicants' responses explaining their desire to stay.
