We run your Airbnb
on autopilot.
We run your short-term rental completely — pricing, guests, cleaners, paperwork — for 12% of bookings. Your local cleaning crew stays. Your property stays yours.
What we actually do
Fifteen jobs. None of them yours.
A short-term rental is a small hotel. Here is the job it hands you — and everything on this list stops being yours.
Getting bookings
4hrs/mo
decides what you earn
- Setting nightly prices
- Writing the listing
- Taking the photos
- Listing on three sites
- Keeping calendars in sync
Running the stay
16hrs/mo
eats your evenings
- Answering guests at 2am
- Sending access codes
- Booking the cleaner
- Chasing a repair
- Handling refunds and damage
- Replying to reviews
The paperwork
3hrs/mo
gets you fined
- Filing occupancy tax
- Keeping the permit valid
- Building owner statements
- Reconciling payouts
Roughly 23 hours a month, for one property. That is the job the listing quietly hands you.
What we don’t do. We don’t clean or repair anything ourselves — we coordinate the crews, yours if you have them, ours if you don’t. We don’t touch your insurance or your income tax. Those stay with you and your accountant.
Where the AI is, and isn’t. Pricing analysis and first-response guest messaging run automatically, which is how one team covers work that usually needs a local office. A person reviews anything that involves your money or your property.

First 30 days
What changes, and when.

Property review and listing audit
We read your listing, your reviews and your last twelve months of pricing, then tell you what we found.

Re-photography and listing rebuild
New photographs, new title, new description, new layout. You approve everything before it goes live.
- 03 · Day 5
Live across all channels with dynamic pricing
Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, with one calendar behind them.
- 04 · Day 7
Cleaner and access set up
Your cleaner is added to the schedule, or we introduce ours. Access codes and arrival instructions are in place.
- 05 · Day 30
First owner statement
One page: what was booked, what came in, what we charged, what you were paid.
Pricing
The whole price, on this page.
Management
12%
of bookings. Nothing when the property sits empty.
- Daily pricing
- Listing build and ongoing optimisation
- Listed on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com
- 24/7 guest messaging
- Cleaner and maintenance coordination
- Damage claims and refunds
- Review management
- Occupancy and lodging tax filing
- Monthly owner statement
What’s extra: nothing. Cleaning and repairs are paid to your crews at their rates, as they are today. We don’t mark them up.

Markets
Where we operate.
We work in one market and we know it street by street. We’d rather manage twenty properties well in one place than two hundred badly across the country.
