Fans can be Prince for a night as the Purple Rain House debuts on Airbnb

Prince fans will have the chance to party like it's 1999 at the Minnesota house made famous by Purple Rain as this year marks the movie's 40th anniversary.

The white, two-story Minneapolis home looks unassuming from the outside, but it's a sign of recent limited-time Airbnb icon rentals — properties built and operated by Airbnb and designed to give guests a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The residence, which the Prince bought in 2015, has been opened to the public for the first time.

“Not to brag, but we really outdid ourselves,” Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, members of Revolution who co-starred with Prince in the film and served as house hosts, said in the property listing. “The space is jam-packed with epic memorabilia that will give you a rare glimpse into Prince's creative process during his Purple Rain era.”

The pair have created a unique experience that will allow fans of the musical icon to go crazy immersing themselves in the cultural legacy of The Purple One, incorporating real-life material, unreleased tracks, memorabilia and authentic pieces from his own collection.

Although Prince never lived in the home, his character in the 1984 film – The Kid – was a musician and band leader whose home life was a rocky one as depicted on screen. Some rooms have been restored to capture its big-screen likeness, while others have been converted into museum-like exhibits of Prince memorabilia.

In the home's basement, guests can sleep in a replica of The Kids' bedroom from the film, with lavender pillows on the bed and even a 1980s-style cassette player that plays Prince's personal tape collection – including one of his demo recordings.

There's a lounge where guests can play the guitar, drums or an upright piano, or have the chance to perform the opening lines for Dove's Cry. QR codes throughout the room link visitors to the hosts' comments.

“It's really meant to immerse you in The Kids' World,” said Ali Killam, an Airbnb spokesperson.

And, of course, Prince, as a tribute to his career and influence, has plenty of his signature color, purple. There is a large piece of wall art depicting purple bananas, which Killam says is a reference to Let's Go Crazy.

Upstairs, a large closet with paisley wallpaper and leopard-spotted flooring displays Prince's signature dresses behind glass, and other clothes (and accessories and makeup) are available to give guests a chance to be beautiful.

“And then what guests will be able to do themselves is actually play around with a selection of iconic '80s clothing and looks and styles that they can channel themselves into their inner rock star,” says Killam. No word on whether a Raspberry Beret is included in the wardrobe.

The bathroom was decorated to replicate the music video When Doves Cry, complete with a clawfoot tub, a tribute to Coleman and Melvoin.

“We were fortunate to be a part of the Minneapolis music scene during such an important era in rock music, to play with Prince in one of the most successful bands of our generation and to star with him in Purple Rain,” Coleman and Melvoin added in a statement. The pair, who played with Prince in backing band The Revolution in 1984, later released their own album in 1987 as Wendy and Lisa.

Those who don't own Diamonds and Pearls are within reach for fans – just $7 per night for up to four guests. Prices are based on the Prince's favorite number and will cover a total of 25 nights' accommodation over the seven weeks from October 26 to December 14.

If you die 4 Prince, you can request online bookings starting October 2nd at 6am Pacific Time and October 6th at 11.59pm Pacific Time. Airbnb, which collaborated with the Prince's estate and Paisley Park for the experience, said a pool of potential guests will be randomly selected and final invitations to rent will be based on fans' answers to why they want to stay there.

Guests are responsible for their own travel to Minneapolis, but are encouraged to ride the little red Corvette.

The movie Purple Rain along with the hit album of the same name made Prince a versatile superstar. The album was the artist's first to top the Billboard 200 chart where it remained for 24 consecutive weeks. Songs from the album such as Let's Go Crazy, When Doves Cry and I'd Die 4 You became hits worldwide.

They were followed by other hits, such as 1999 and Little Red Corvette, and the gender-defying icon sold more than 100m records that similarly defined a label, creating a mix of rock, funk and soul. Prince Rogers Nelson died of an accidental fentanyl overdose on April 21, 2016 at the age of 57 at his Paisley Park estate in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
