A Liverpool house, whose basement is famous for hosting some of The Beatles' first gigs and which still features John Lennon's name scratched into the ceiling and Paul McCartney's paintwork, has been given a new lease of life, listed on Airbnb.

00:00This is the bedroom of the John Lennon Suite here at the Casbah Coffee Cup Suites, so if
00:14you're a John Lennon fan, I should imagine this is where you want to stay.
00:31The Beatles started here at the Casbah Coffee Club, that's where the band formed.
00:36They played at the Casbah on the opening night as the Quarrymen, John, Paul, George and a less known guy called Ken Brown.
00:49Stars on the ceiling were put up by John, Paul, George and Pete. They cut these stars out and put them up.
00:56If there hadn't have been a Casbah, there wouldn't have been a Beatles. It was the starting point.
01:04It was where John, Paul, George, Stuart met Pete. The five of them came together to form the original line-up of the Beatles and it all happened here at the Casbah.
01:16It just happens to be the one that's got the drum kit pillow.
01:25At the Airbnb, the house does have the far ceiling above the stage. That was put up by John Lennon and my brother Pete.
01:35She grabbed hold of John, she spotted it about three weeks later and dragged him upstairs.
01:42It's a wonderful opportunity and I would certainly recommend it to anybody that's a Beatles fan.
01:48Especially if they're a Beatles fan of the early days and the origins of the Beatles and where they truly started right in the basement of this house.
02:01It's just a wonderful thing what they've done for this to make it available for Beatles fans alike to come visit and stay and truly learn the real history.
