Advantages of short-term renting
Get to know the main advantages of renting your house on the short renting market.
Guaranteed payment
The full payment of the stay is made at the time of check in so there is no risk of payment failures or late payments.
Reduced risk of deterioration
Being able to visit the property whenever necessary, between each reservation, allows you to control the state of the property and ensure the perfect maintenance of it.
Availability and flexibility
When renting for short-term, since the house is occupied for short periods of time, the owner can visit and even use the house when needed.
Less worries
Delivering the house to a Airbnb management company that handles the entire process allows you to increase income without the hassle of handling the whole process.
