The process of landing a booking with one of these unique experiences is based on luck. The steps, according to Airbnb, are to choose dates, add guests and answer a question about why you want to go.
Then, Airbnb will randomly choose a set of potential guests and review their answers, looking for “unique perspectives and connections to the icon.” After that is when select guests will be invited to book the experience.
The Prince Airbnb experience celebrates the 40th anniversary of his beloved film. The 1984 “Purple Rain” movie earned Prince an Oscar for Best Music, Original Song Score.
