Family Finds Photo

A TikTok video posted on July 2 showed a photo on the Airbnb wall of a father, sister Libby and brother Brady in a beach picture taken ten years earlier.
The family said it was their first Airbnb, making the discovery feel especially odd.
Fox News reported the image came from a beach-town festival three years before the stay and said commenters found the scene unsettling.

Summary

Airbnb Bans Cameras

Airbnb bans indoor security cameras and says they cannot appear in any listing.
Only exterior devices such as doorbell cameras or non-recording noise monitors are allowed if disclosed.
When the Birrell family discovered a live-stream camera in their Perth rental, Airbnb gave them a comparable four-bedroom unit nearby.
Airbnb said it will investigate the host, relocate guests with privacy concerns, and noted similar Australian incidents.
