Even if you’re not an Olympian, you can still live like one.
US gymnast Nastia Liukin, the 2008 Olympic all-around gymnastics champion, is renting out her Boston apartment on Airbnb, all in the name of charity.
For $1,250 a night — with a four-night minimum — renters of the one-bedroom can watch the Games on the wide-screen TV of an actual gold-medal winner, while Liukin herself covers the Games in Rio for NBC. “When I got the opportunity to do it, I was so excited,” Liukin, 26, told USA Today of the chance to do a good deed.
Liukin lives with fiancé Matt Lombardi, a former Boston College hockey player, the paper said.
All proceeds go to the Corey C. Griffin Foundation, which provides education and health care to needy kids and families.
