An Airbnb rental in Ybor City, Florida, needed a makeover.
The house had to be repainted and the kitchen cabinets didn’t match, said Frank Albert, an Airbnb superhost with 28 properties in the Tampa Bay area. But it was the right fit for a project to re-create scenes from one of the most iconic sitcoms: “Friends.”
Within two months, he and his best friend were hunting for the perfect paint hues and decor similar to what’s in the show, official “Friends” merchandise and a Central Perk orange couch. In April, Albert listed the 1920s bungalow on Airbnb with hopes it’s not just a place to stay in to see Tampa’s attractions, but that it becomes one itself.
