If you grew up in the 1990s dreaming about what it would be like to finally sit on your throne in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air mansion, it seems like your dreams could finally come true—if you can somehow get past current travel restrictions and make your way to Los Angeles, that is.Airbnb and Fresh Prince star Will Smith have teamed up to rent out the famous abode featured on the series in conjunction with the show’s recent 30th anniversary. “Love what you’ve done with the place @willsmith,” Airbnb shared on Instagram. “30 years since ‘The Fresh Prince’ rolled up to the show’s iconic LA crib, Will is opening the doors to his former kingdom for a limited time – only on Airbnb.”

If this place looks familiar that’s because it’s just as fly as it was when I first rolled up the driveway,” Smith writes on the official Airbnb website. “I’m back. And this time, I’m handing you the keys so you’ll have my wing of the mansion all to yourself - but my sneaker collection is off limits, aight?”
According to the listing the rental includes Will’s bedroom, a full bathroom, the pool area, an outdoor lounge, and the dining room. There are also several perks listed, like playing basketball in the bedroom (yep, the bedroom), trying your hand at some turntables a la Jazzy Jeff, and access to the closet, which promises to be full of “argyle prepster” and “all-star athlete” looks.For those who were hoping to whip up some yummy treats like the rich do, the listing does reveal that the kitchen is off-limits. But naturally, all of your meals will be served up to you on silver platters. “In this socially-distanced staycation, your comfort and safety is our top priority. You’ll have a wing of the manor to yourself from check-in to check-out, with no other guests in the house during your stay (not even a family member from Philly),” the post continues.There are five-time, one-night stays available at “The Freshest Los Angeles Mansion Around,” which has clearly been decorated to give off all of the show’s vibes. Unfortunately, a quick click through the availability calendar reveals that all of those $30 U.S. stays might already be booked. Meanwhile the listing also reveals that Airbnb is making a one-time donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia.The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air officially celebrated the 30-year-anniversary of its debut on September 10. To mark the occasion the entire cast got together (minus James Avery, who passed away in 2013), for a reunion special. In an Instagram post Smith revealed he sat down with co-stars Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton), Tatyana Ali (Ashley), Karyn Parsons (Hilary), Joseph Marcell (Geoffrey), Daphne Maxwell Reid (Aunt Viv) and DJ Jazzy Jeff on that famous couch to chat about all of the memories and special moments.Smith also surprised everyone by revealing he had sat down with Janet Hubert, the original actress who played Aunt Viv when the show premiered in 1990. She was fired in 1993 and hasn’t had many nice words to say about Smith since. The fact that they sat down together has fans hoping that they have finally squashed their feud, a hopeful reconciliation that everyone can see play out when the reunion special airs later this fall on HBO Max.[video_embed id='-1']BEFORE YOU GO: Dog looking to get pets at all costs![/video_embed]
