You can now rent Trump's childhood home on Airbnb


Do you have 20 people you need to sleep and a love for the president of the United States? Then Donald Trump's childhood home in Queens, New York, could be your new favorite vacation house — and you're in luck. It's now taking reservations.
"Not much has been changed since the Trumps lived here," the Airbnb listing tells potential guests, although it fails to mention the plethora of President Trump memorabilia that likely wasn't there in his childhood. "The kitchen is original and the opulent furnishings represent the style and affluence in which the Trumps would have lived. This is a unique and special opportunity to stay in the home of a sitting president."
The home was auctioned off this spring to an anonymous buyer for upwards of $2 million, the New York Daily News reports. To rent the home today runs guests $725 a night, which seems steep until you divide it among your 19 closest friends, breaking down to a cheap $36.25 a night per person.
