How would you like to live like a President? Well now you can – as the former apartment of US President Barack Obama is now available to rent in New York.

Obama used to live in the flat in Manhattan during the 1980s while he was a student at Columbia University.

Back then he paid almost 300 euro a month in rent for the two bedroom apartment – but the rental price has now shot up to almost 2,000 euro, possibly due to the Presidential aspirations it could inspire.
