Pete Best, 82, and his younger brother have renovated the house in Liverpool that their mother Mona bought in 1959. Now, guests from all over the world can stay in the newly renovated rooms – named after the first members of The Beatles; John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe, and Pete Best.
The basement has been left as untouched as possible. That's where McCartney's and Lennon's band The Quarrymen first played without a drummer – until Mona Best suggested that her son could join the band and bought a drum set for him.
After The Beatles had been to Hamburg and performed at the clubs there, they played another 40 times at The Cabash Coffee Club. The audience consisted mainly of local teenagers, who had to pay for an annual membership since Mona Best didn't want any troublemakers in the house.
It's through the service Airbnb that the brothers are now renting out five of the house's rooms, writes The Guardian. Ringo Starr doesn't get a room named after him, since he never slept over or played there. He hadn't yet taken over Pete Best's position as drummer in the band.
I still don't know why I got fired, but I don't care a bit about it. All that happened 60 years ago and I've had a fantastic life, says Pete Best to the newspaper.
The Best brothers also run a Beatles museum in central Liverpool.
