How to Book Issa Rae's South LA Home on Airbnb
Issa Rae Is Hosting This Stylish Airbnb Rental For $56 a Night
It may sound too good to be true, but trust us, it's real:Issa Raeis hosting her first Airbnb in South Los Angeles for just $56 a night. (And no, it's not a contest.) The experience is inspired by Rae's"Insecure"character, and if you're a fan of the show, you might even recognize the neighborhood. Located in View Park, the midcentury-style home is decked out with everything you could imagine: an in-ground pool surrounded by chaise lounges and canopies, a gorgeous yard with a breathtaking view of LA, and gallery walls of incredible artwork by local Black artists, including Maya Iman, Vakseen, and Domonique Brown. I'll ask what we're all thinking: whatcan'tRae do?
"Since my series debuted in 2016, it's been an honor to showcase the people, culture and businesses that make South LA such a vibrant part of the city," Rae said in a press release shared with POPSUGAR. "I became an Airbnb Host to create a stay where fans of the show can experience this for themselves. From dinner by Worldwide Tacos on game day, to art from my favorite local artists on the walls — this is LA, my way."
In light of thenegative effects that hosting platforms like Airbnb can haveon communities, Rae's partnership with Airbnb includes a $500,000 donation, in collaboration with Nasdaq, to various organizations aiming to help underrepresented communities build wealth, includingLeadersUp,Central Neighborhood Health Foundation, and theBrotherhood Crusade.
