The Staten Island, N.Y. mansion whose exterior served as the home of Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) in The Godfather is available to rent on Airbnb.
Available for the entire month of August, the 6,248-square-foot English Tudor boasts all kinds of amenities and activities to enjoy this summer including a large saltwater pool, gym, game room, and a pub in the basement (though the nutcrackers may be a little off-putting).
The grand home, which was built in 1930, is a mix of classic and modern, from the stone features and big, dark leather sofas, to bright rooms, furnishings and lighting, not to mention the kind of kitchen chefs and eaters alike dream about.

Aside from limited access to closets in the basement and attic, the rest of the charming space is available for use.
Only the home’s exterior, doubling as Corleone’s Long Island dwelling in the movie, was used in the 1972 film, which fans can instantly recognize from the opening scene that shows the wedding reception for Vito’s daughter, Connie (Talia Shire).

Fun fact, the residence next door served as the home of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino).
Host Joe describes the home as “most suitable for two adults and three children,” though the five bedrooms and seven bathrooms can really be enjoyed by anyone.

Booking opens on July 27 at 1 p.m. ET for a 30-night stay.
It costs $50 a night — a nod to the film’s 50th anniversary.
