Tampa-Area Airbnb Resembles Set Of Popular 'Friends' Sitcom

TAMPA, FL — If you are a die-hard fan of the hit-show "Friends," you may want to book your next Airbnb at a Florida property that'll transport you into the world of the popular sitcom.

Following two months of research, Frank Albert told Patch he recently transformed his 1920s bungalow in Ybor City into a replica of the "Friends" set.

"I loved watching it [the show] growing up. I love all the fun themes, colors, etc. and thought it would be super fun to recreate," he said.

"Friends" first aired on NBC in 1994 and ran for 10 seasons. The show revolved around the lives of six friends in their 20s and 30s who lived in Manhattan. Guests can unofficially be the "seventh friend" during the course of their stay.

Starting around $240 a night, guests will experience a heavy dose of mid-1990s and early 2000s show nostalgia.

With tons of replica items, Albert said rooms were inspired by a cross between Monica and Rachel’s apartment, Joey and Chandler's apartment and Central Perk.

True "Friends" fans will also appreciate the many Easter eggs such as Marcel, the Chick and the Duck, lobsters, a "Friends" cookbook, a foosball table and even the shining book in the freezer, according to Albert.

"We just started it a little over a month ago, and we have some bookings extending out into the next four months. That being said we still have plenty of openings during weekdays and those rates are also a lot lower than weekends making it the perfect situation for staycationers," Albert said.
