Airbnb hosting and property management
Wendy Smith 
Cleaning Standards for Airbnb properties has always been an important factor in getting good guest reviews and return custom but in these days of high risk of infection transmission with Covid-19 it is even more important to ensure all responsible activities have been undertaken to protect our guests and also our support staff such as cleaners in our property environments.
Airbnb or Short Term Rental options have not been uppermost in the minds of Property Developers to date however with recent economic changes, strategists are reviewing and considering new options to gain a positive return on investment.
Airbnb Short Term Rental stays are set to boom post the Covid – 19 Lockdown. Travellers will be setting their sights on escaping their lockdown home environment and seeking to enjoy some friend and family catch ups away from congested areas. The smaller more controlled accommodations such as Airbnb homes matches perfectly with this criteria. Accommodations within easy driving distances from major centres will be high on the list of sought after venues.
This is one of the most common questions we get asked at BnB In Style. Of course, the answer depends on a variety of factors such as the type, size and quality of property, the location and the competition in that area. Having said that, there are many examples of short-term rentals outperforming long-term rentals in terms of income by 30% or more. Especially during peak seasons. That is why this short stay accommodation sector has grown and many investors are choosing this modern and agile strategy.
Airbnb property management is where a property owner or investor partners with a professional Airbnb property manager to list and manage their property on Airbnb. It works because the property owner doesn’t have to spend time or have any of the hassles associated with renting a property and the property manager receives payment from the short-term rental income they help generate.
