For fans of Stranger Things, this could be the perfect Airbnb – because it’s inspired by the hit Netflix show.

The Upside Den, in St Louis, Missouri, is an 80s-themed basement rental that recreates several of the sets from the sci-fi drama. 

Its features include a replica of the alphabet wall covered in Christmas lights that Joyce (Winona Ryder) uses in the first season to contact Will (Noah Schnapp).

There is also a pillow fort – a nod to the hiding place of telepathic character Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) – and for breakfast Eggo Waffles, one of her favourite foods, are served.

In keeping with the 80s theme, there is a VHS player with more than 50 classic movies available to watch, as well as quirky 80s furniture.
