She tweeted on June 13: “We reported this to [Airbnb] and to the police station Friday noon and still have not had a update on this case.
“We have no idea what footage this owner has and what he is doing with it!
“This is so UNSAFE, and scary! Thank God we noticed the cameras and got out of there!”
In a video on TikTok, the pair said they fell asleep on the sofa and discovered the cameras on the ceiling when they woke up.
She added: “We were creeped out and we decided to look everywhere in the Airbnb, all over the ceiling, and see if there’s any more cameras.

“We discovered that the sprinklers had a camera lens. We got on the chair and we did a flash test on these sprinklers and they are cameras.”
