A holidaymaker was shocked to wake up and discover she was not alone in her Airbnb.
Shannon had been excited to get away from her home for the weekend and spend some quality time relaxing in a holiday apartment. What she wasn't expecting was to be sharing her bed.
The Australian woke up after a refreshing night's sleep to find that the other side of the bed she'd been kipping on was absolutely covered in urine and faeces. There were also little footprints on the pillow.
The deep sleeper hadn't been disturbed by the unlikely intruder, who she believes scurried down the chimney to join her in bed in the middle of the night.
Shannon called the Airbnb hosts who quickly arrived at the house and located the disruptive possum which they found hiding in the fireplace. They boarded up the entrance, cleaned up the mess and replace the mattress and sheets.
In a video shared online Shannon showed the destruction wreaked by the nocturnal marsupial.
"There's poo on the floor. It's an animal, I've just woken up to a crime scene and I didn't know about it all night," Shannon said.
"I slept on that side of the bed and I've woken up and this is here. We're in a beautiful Airbnb and something has slept with me and I don't know what it was.
"They boarded up the fireplace so my little mate couldn't visit me last night. Can confirm though, I did not sleep very well.
"The Airbnb hosts have been incredible. We went sight seeing today and they came - new mattress, new linen, everything thrown out."
If like the idea of combining animals and Airbnbs, but don't want to wake up next to one, then a holiday rental shaped like a dog may be up your strees.
This listing has taken 'pet-friendly' to a whole new level and created the ultimate celebration of all things dog. For a start, the Dog Bark Park B&B is shaped like a giant beagle guarding the picturesque landscape.
There's even a 'little brother' puppy structure on the side, although it's only the large beagle which is available as somewhere to stay.
Head inside the larger beagle and you'll find a home where everything is dog-themed. We're talking the art on the walls, the wallpaper, the pillows and even the board games and magazines left for guests to enjoy.
Brits who want to check it out might need to get planning though, as the eye-catching listing is located in Idaho, USA.
Still, it's ideal if you're thinking of a rural getaway, as the beagle-shaped home is surrounded by beautiful prairies, mountains and endless countryside.
