'We stayed in Paul Manafort's Airbnb'
'We stayed in Paul Manafort's Airbnb' - BBC News
The 31-page indictment against Paul Manafort contained one surprising detail - that he listed one of his New York City properties for rent on the website Airbnb. The BBC spoke to a family who unwittingly rented the former Trump campaign manager's flat for a long weekend.
Like any cautious Airbnb user, Suzanne was initially suspicious when she read the ad for an "amazing full floor loft in Soho".
"It took me a really long time to believe what I was seeing," says Suzanne, who asked her full name be withheld to protect her family's privacy. "It was too good to be true."
It was December 2014, her father had just recovered after a long stay in hospital, and she wanted to give her family a break. So she and her husband Jeff began planning a whirlwind tour of the Big Apple with their three children.
Four nights for a family of five in New York City can get very expensive, so Suzanne started combing through ads on Airbnb. Despite her fears the Soho listing might be a scam, Suzanne decided to take the risk.
Good or bad marketing for AirBnB?
