The home is being remodeled and will be available for rental starting in August, and get this, your hosts will be none other than Wendy and Lisa from The Revolution. The home is still owned by the Prince estate, so they are clearly ok with the Airbnb partnership.

This will mark the first time the home will be open to the public, visitors will get a private tour of the home which includes a collection of Prince keepsakes, and get a chance to listen to some special and rare tracks from Prince in what Airbnb calls "an exclusive studio session."

Airbnb says that visitors to the home will get a chance to sit down for a chat and tour the home with Wendy and Lisa, so for the hardcore Prince fan, this will be a great opportunity to learn about the man and his music from the unique perspective of two people who were there with him.
