Paolo Zampolli’s Gramercy Park townhouse has long doubled as a calling card, showcasing the Trump administration official’s diplomatic credentials, celebrity ties and globe-spanning ventures. Today, the property is drawing attention for another reason: allegations that it has quietly operated as an unlicensed short-term rental. Listings advertised nightly rates for apartment units in the townhouse, including a studio for about $200 per night and a one-bedroom for roughly $250. Another apartment at the property remains listed on Airbnb as a 30-day rental, though reviews reported by the outlet suggest guests stayed for far shorter periods. The operation allegedly relied on Portuguese-language social media, Brazilian influencers and travel content promoting the townhouse as an affordable Manhattan stay with Portuguese-speaking customer service.
