Olympic Gold Medalist Nastia Liukin Lists Boston Apartment on Airbnb During Rio Olympics

— — Diehard Olympics fans had the chance to experience like a gold medalist as they watched athletes compete for the sport’s most prestigious honours.

Former Olympic gold medalist gymnast Nastia Liukin, 26, who is covering the games this year, listed her Boston apartment on Airbnb while she is in Rio de Janeiro.

Liukin, who led Team USA to a silver medal and won the all-around gold at the 2008 Olympics, offered her a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment for 1 $250 per night.

The Airbnb listing, which now appears to be closed, says there is a four-night minimum stay for two people. The apartment is located in historic Boston Harbor with a view of downtown Boston, according to the listing.

“While I’m in Brazil cheering on the next generation of gymnastics superstars in person, I’m reserving my place on Airbnb!” Liukin wrote on Airbnb. “In fact, you might even see me, from my own living room, changing channels on my flat screen TV!”

“As with all my guests, I ask that you please treat my home as if it were your own, but above all, have fun and explore the city that I love so much,” the retired gymnast wrote.

All proceeds from Airbnb rentals will be donated to the Corey C. Griffin Foundation, which aims to provide health and education solutions to families in need, the listing says.
