First it was the Last Blockbuster, then a supposedly haunted home in Salem, Massachusetts. … Now the mansion featured in the first installment of The Godfather has a listing on Airbnb.

The Corleone house — which is located in Staten Island, not Long Island, per the classic film — was available for the month of August, according to HouseBeautiful.com.
Inside the Corleone Mansion
The website notes that the mansion isn’t fortified with a high wall, another disparity between real life and the movie. The filmmakers reportedly built the wall out of plastic on set.
It also says the renovated Godfather house, built in 1930, now features five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a saltwater pool, a pub, a game room, and a gym. The entire property encompasses 6,248 square feet, according to HouseBeautiful.com.
The kitchen is fully modernized with stainless steel appliances, according to the report.
HouseBeautiful.com stipulated that the mansion, while listed for a mere $50 a night, was only available for a long-term, 30-night stay during the summer. The booking period is currently closed, according to Airbnb.
The listing says the mansion is a family home located in a quiet neighborhood. It’s also well-maintained, with house cleaners coming once a week, pool cleaners twice a week, and landscapers once a week on site.
“Please note, you will have limited access to closets in the basement and the attic,” the listing says.
But for only $50 a night? The place where The Godfather takes place? To recycle a joke from HouseBeautiful.com, that’s an offer we can’t refuse.
