Inside the incredible Friends themed Airbnb decked out like Central Perk

If you're obsessed with all things Friends, then we may just have found the Airbnb stay of your dreams.

We're talking a living room that's been transformed into a replica of Central Perk, and a kitchen and bedroom decked out to look just like the ones in Monica's apartment - including that iconic purple door and yellow framed peephole.

The living room has a sofa just like the one in the show, a large mirror with the Central Perk logo, and even a guitar in the corner if you're hoping to emulate Phoebe and belt out a bit of 'Smelly Cat'. There's even table football with a little toy chick, just like in Chandler and Joey's apartment.

There's also a turquoise kitchen filled with colourful props (and all the crockery you need), and a double bed with some Friends-themed artwork.

There are heaps of quirky nods to some of Joey, Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, Ross and Chandler's iconic moments throughout the apartment.

For example, there's a copy of the Shining in the fridge (there's no freezer, but it's close enough), artwork paying tribute to Ross's battle with leather trousers, a Hugsy penguin toy, and a bathroom curtain printed so it looks like Chandler is enjoying one of his beloved bubble baths.

Oh, and of course the property boasts a TV so you can binge-watch all of your favourite shows.

The themed Airbnb isn't in New York as you'd expect, but it's still got a pretty glamorous location in the heart of Los Angeles, right by Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. (A brilliant location if you are hoping to explore LA).

The Airbnb stay has actually been around for a few years but it was only refurbished recently to have the Friends theme, opening up with the new look earlier this year.

In fact, some Friends fans have already booked a stay, and one shared a video tour of the experience, as he wandered through the flat searching for the hidden props and surprises (without giving too much away of course!)

The property sleeps two people, with prices starting from £278 a night based on two people sharing. You can find out more on the Airbnb listing here.

Sadly USA holidays aren't on the cards for Brits just yet, with a current ban on non-essential travel from the UK, not to mention the US has currently closed borders to anyone who has been in the UK within 14 days of travel.

However, there is a glimmer of hope. Joe Biden has said that all US adults would be eligible to receive the Covid-19 vaccine by late April, while one travel expert previously revealed that the UK and US governments are currently in talks regarding introducing a form of 'travel corridor' between the countries - and it could be in place by June.
