How Airbnb-friendly drives results

1

Visibility and controls

You can see who and when someone is hosting within your buildings. As a building owner, you can set community rules, such as quiet hours, for all Airbnb guests to follow.
2

Revenue and affordability

You can elect to earn a share of revenue on every booking. Your residents can also earn extra money on their rental apartment which can help with the rising cost of living.
3

Long-term resident demand

Increase net new demand by enabling discoverability on Airbnb. Prospects can browse your long-term, unfurnished rentals so they can find a place to live and host.
