Barack Obama's old apartment appears on Craigslist

The New York apartment that US president Barack Obama lived in in 1981 has come up for sale, and a listing has appeared on the international classified advertising site Craigslist.

The listing for the apartment gushes over "beautiful hardwood floors," "high ceilings," "large closets" and "OBAMA SLEPT HERE AND YOU CAN TOO." The New York Times reports that the president lived here with a roommate in 1981 during his Junior year at Columbia. 


No doubt many prospective buyers of apartments in New York will look at the President's former abode.
