Airbnb re-created iconic ‘Sex and the City’ apartment — and it’s really inexpensive
It was the ultimate dream apartment for single, working women everywhere in the 1990s, and now, it’s turned into a fantasy come true — with the help of Airbnb.
A re-creation of Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic New York City apartment from the HBO series “Sex and the City” is now available to rent for $23 a night – but, alas, it’s for a short time only.
“It’s been 23 years since I first stepped into Carrie’s shoes, and now, it’s your turn,” actor Sarah Jessica Parker said in the listing on Airbnb. Parker, who is the virtual host of the short-term vacation rental, shot to fame thanks to playing the legendary fashionista/columnist Carrie Bradshaw who was constantly hunting for love in the Big Apple.
The mirrored Brownstone is pure Carrie: from her collection of Vogue magazines, to her trademark Manolo Blahnik shoes, it’s all there. And who can forget the gold necklace that the character barely ever left home without?
The real draw is that famous closet, which fans who book the rental can rummage through and “play dress-up” followed by a photoshoot, the listing promises.
Guests can also expect to do brunch in Chelsea like Carrie and her friends Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha did, including sipping the girls’ signature cosmopolitan.
The only thing missing is Carrie’s main squeeze — Mr. Big.
“There’s no one quite like Carrie, and there’s no place quite like New York City through her eyes,” Parker said on Airbnb. “As a New Yorker myself, I’m excited to give those she’s inspired over the years the opportunity to walk in her shoes for one unforgettable night.”
Parker also shared the news on Instagram.
Booking for the apartment opens on Nov. 8 at noon Eastern time and two guests can only book one-night stays on Nov. 12 and 13.
A “Sex and the City” sequel, “And Just Like That...”, is set to be released on HBO in December and stars Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Chris Noth reprising their original roles. The show will consist of 10 half-hour episodes, IMDb reports.
