People Who Made Friends With The Animals At Their Airbnb
Airbnb stays can be hit or miss, but these Reddit users got a very different kind of surprise when they walked in and found animals already part of the setup.
From cats curled up on beds to dogs greeting guests at the door, the stories below show what happens when a rental feels a lot more like a home. Some of these furry roommates were expected, some were not, and a few clearly stole the whole trip.
Either way, these stays came with a lot more personality than anyone probably booked for.
"Heard a lot of Airbnb horror stories. This is not one of them."
"Arrived back at my Airbnb in Japan to find this in my bed."
"Airbnb Host Was Concerned I Would Cancel Because He Had Puppies. Instead, I Stayed An Extra Week!"
Some Airbnb stays come with a lot more than a key and a bed.
"My Airbnb host has a dog. I got up to the bathroom and came back to this."
"Arrived at my Airbnb for the night and made friends with the cat; it turns out he doesn't even live here!"
"My Airbnb Has A Bellhop Now."
That kind of welcome definitely sets the tone.
"Staying at an Airbnb on a farm, $22/night and all the animals you can pet."
"First time Airbnb... never saw this cutie before. Slept the whole night on my blanket :)"
"Last month we hit the Airbnb jackpot."
And in a few cases, the animal was the best part of the whole trip.
