Inside Tenerife Airbnb where Jay Slater spent final hours
The Airbnb where missing teenager Jay Slater spent his final night before going missing on the island of Tenerife has been revealed.
The two-bedroom property called Casa Abuela Tina costs £40 a night and was rented to two British men who have since left the island.
Set in the village of Masca about 20 miles from the party spot of Playa Americas, it has been seen as an unusual spot for a young person to holiday in.

Jay 'walked off alone'
The owner of the remote Airbnb where Jay Slater stayed the night before he vanished in Tenerife has spoken out about the morning he 'walked off alone' - as the major search to find him continues for its fifth day.
Ophelia, the owner of the holiday rental, Casa Abuela Tina, where Jay is understood to have stayed with two people he met on the island after partying at the NRG festival, has spoken to the Manchester Evening News about her 'worry' for the missing teenager.
She claimed she saw him walking uphill alone on Monday morning.
Speaking outside the holiday cottage on Friday, she said: 'It's dangerous walking around here, it's easy to lose yourself. He walked up the road when I saw him for the last time.
'He was alone. He was walking normally, though he was fast.'
Plea for British cops to help
His friend Lucy Law, 18, has now blasted the local Spanish police for 'not doing a good enough job' in finding the missing Brit.
'We are having to do this all by ourselves as Spanish police are not doing a good enough job. They don’t even speak English. It’s been a very slow process here so we need the British police to come out and help them,' she told The Times.
