Airbnb where Jay Slater spent final hours before disappearing has been re-listed
The Airbnb where Slater stayed before vanishing in one of the most rural Tenerife spots, has been relisted for people to stay at.
The two-bedroom cottage that will cost tourists £40-a-night is located in the village of Masca, around 19 miles from Playa de las Americas.
Jay is believed to have gone to the Airbnb at 5am on the day that he vanished, with two friends he had met whilst on the island.

He left the property at about 7:30 am, posting pictures from the location on his Snapchat.
Jay was last seen walking uphill and made a final call to friend Lucy Law to say he was lost, that his phone was almost out of battery, and that he needed water.
The property was initially taken off holiday listing websites whilst searches of the mountainous area were carried out, but has now reappeared.
However, the cottage does not have any availability for the busy summer season, with one online firm saying it is unavailable until at least August 31.
It is listed as a ‘holiday home or chalet’ and offers free WiFi and a fully equipped kitchen.
It states: ‘The holiday home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a hairdryer.
‘A flat-screen TV is offered. Golf Las Americas is 36 km from the accommodation, while Siam Park is 37 km away. Tenerife South Airport is 52 km from the property.’
The listing on Booking.com has just one review, which gives it full marks out of ten across all criteria.
The property was rented by 31-year-old drug dealer Ayub Qassim, also known as Johnny Vegas, from east London, and was searched by police.
He has since spoken out about Jay’s disappearance, claiming he had nothing at all to do with the mystery.
Qassim has said that Jay ‘left his house alive’, before adding: “I let the geezer stay at mine because he had nowhere else to go, his friends had all left him.
“I know Jay, through friends, I'm not going to bring someone back to mine if I don't know them.
“I'm doing the geezer a favour and now my face is all over the news.
“It's a bit mental. I haven't even done anything.”
Qassim and another man staying at the property were branded 'irrelevant' by Spanish police who are investigating the case - but the family of the teenage boy are not convinced.
