Any AirBnB owners here?

How has it gone? Worth the punt or is it a PITA?

I have a 3 bed cottage in a well known quant seaside town in East Anglia. Im either going to rent back out full time or have a go at AirBnB but am curious if it really can make more than going down the more trad agency routes.

Hey all,

Very useful responses. Many thanks.

Would you say that your property is utilised far more than if:

1. you had done a normal 6 month AST
or
2. rented your house out through a holiday let agency?

Thank you!

For us Airbnb has trumped both the above by a long shot and it also allows us access to the apartment in the off-season. We are fortunate to have a really keen and conscientious person that does the changeovers for us whilst we manage schedules via the Airbnb dashboard in the background.

It is Lake Como of course which does help from a demand viewpoint!

I can quite see an anchorman/woman is the key. Do you charge cleaning ontop or is it included in the price?
