An Airbnb owner has shared the weirdest things she's found in her rental home – revealing what she estimates as £800 worth of items left behind by guests.

Sofia Kaiser inherited the property after a relative passed and decided to give it a good spruce before putting it out on Airbnb so others can visit the area.

The 25-year-old gave it a new lick of paint and updated the decor, before posting the house, which sleeps 13 and is located in Fort Worth, Texas, online.

But little did she know what she’d receive alongside the visitors.

Sofia has shared some of the things she has found in the home on TikTok, (@sopapilla89k ), where one recent video has gathered over 4.9 million views.

“We put our home up on Airbnb last February, after my grandfather passed away and my grandmother got ill meaning she had to be taken to a care facility,” Sofia, who now makes a living off her Airbnb, told http://NeedToKnow.co.uk .

“I never want to sell the house because my grandfather built it!

“So we took over the mortgage and are now putting it out for rent on Airbnb.

“Soon, we noticed we were turning up to many items left behind.”

Since renting out the home, Sofia estimates they have come across over $1,000 ,(£797.48), worth of abandoned goods, including an Apple watch, food and random interior.

One guest, who appeared to have planned for quite the party, left a fridge stocked with booze and pizza, as well as a beer pong set and jello shots.

However, she returns anything that seems of value and keeps un-opened food products to reduce waste.

She said: “I personally have no problem when guests leave behind things that other guests would use!

“Unopened food, cool trays or decor, we just leave it behind in our pantry or back fridge and leave a note for the next guest that they are free to use anything in our home!

“I love that we aren’t being wasteful and provide guests with so much more than your typical Airbnb experience.”

In the video shared to social media, Sofia can be seen walking through the house as she shows the camera her finds.

First, she comes across a lot of unopened snacks including biscuits, crisps and crackers.

Then she looks in the fridge, where she finds it stocked full of beer, jello shots, spirits, pizza and fries in the freezer.

Sofia also spots a pack of batteries, as well as a beer pong set and some necklaces.

The post was captioned: “What our guest left behind in our Airbnb! Our home host 13 people and we encourage get togethers!” and has so far gathered over 548,000 likes, as well as 900 comments.

Alannah said: “When I grow up I wanna be an airbnb cleaner.” [sic]

Kelse commented: “A whole grocery trip.”

Gin added: “THEY LEFT THE WHOLE PARTY.”

Someone else said: “Bro they rly got up and left.” [sic]

“Girl you hit the jackpot,” wrote Bee.

“They tipped you,” joked Rose.

Sofia added: “I want my grandfathers hard work to be shown off and enjoyed by families.

“Just how my large family was able to enjoy the house for many years!

“It’s been really nice to give back to Fort Worth and help people experience this part of town and have a great time.

“It’s been really nice seeing large families come in and get to be under one roof instead of multiple people in a hotel.”
