Weird But True

I got duped by an Airbnb listing — I was shocked when I saw what was under the sheets

Talk about hitting the “hey?!”

After hours of traveling, most vacationers are eager to sink into a cushy mattress atop a cozy bed in a hotel room or rent♏al home. 

But, when it came time to pull back the sheets for some shut-eye, this tripper had to table the issue — literally.

“It’s not what it seems,” said a brunette, who, per a trending clip, was stunned to find that the “bed” of her Airbnb rental in Nebraska was actually two folding tables covered by a comforter. 

“It’s an illusion,” she cackled. 

K🥀risten Downard, 28, the since-deleted snippet to a staggering 8.7 million TikTok v🀅iewers. She tells The Post that it was her sister and two friends who fell prey to the not-so-comfy scam. 

“When my sister sent me the video of the tables under the comforter, my mouth literally dropped open,” said Downard, a professional cheerleading coach from Florida. She chose to withhold her sister’s name for privacy purposes.&nbs😼p;

ꦺ“I know Airbnbs can have some crazy things going on,” Downard added, “but this takes the cake.”

However, it’s certainly not the onജly miജsstep the brand has made in bad taste. 

Erica Watkins, 23, a woman of color, was forced to flee an AirbnBb the rural south after finding the home decked out in racially offensive trappings.  

Kennedy Calwell, a Canadian content creator, too, left an Airbnb early, when she discovered a hidden camera had been lodged into an electrical socket, secretly filming folks during their most intimate moments. 

“In the bathroom, one of the outlets was faced directly to the shower,” to over 7.♏6 million TikTok watchers. 

She and 14 friends had booked the rental for a 30th birthday getaway. But after spotting the recordinꦉg device, the blond and her pals quickly got away from the property. 

“We left the house,” she said.🍸 “The cops searchꦿed the place and they got [the cameras].”

Luckily for Downard’s sister and her travel cಌompanions, a makeshift bed isn’t necessarily the stuff of nightmares. In fact, one of the gals in the clip couldn’t stop giggling at the silly setup. 

Social med✱ia naysay♚ers, however, failed to find the funky furnishings funny. 

“That money would have to be back in my account tꦿhe second I unveiled th💖at blanket,” carped a commenter.

“I always check for bed bugs but now I have to check for BEDS!!?!?,” another g🧸roaned. 

💞“This is so illegal,” spat an equally outraged onloo💯ker. 

Downard tells The Post that she, much like millions onli🍸ne, “felt bad”🍎 for her sister’s bedroom bedlam.

But now, she feels even worse for “making it go viral without her permi👍ssion,” said Downard. “Oops.”
