Goldstay
Airbnb · Short-stay

Turn your apartment into a five-star short-stay, without lifting a finger.

We handle photography, pricing, guests, cleaning and maintenance. You get a monthly statement and a USD wire. Our fee is 20% of revenue. No listing fees, no setup fees, no surprises.

Everything included

Six pillars of full-service short-stay management.

This is not a listing service. It's end-to-end operations, done to a hospitality standard.

Listing & Photography

Professional photography, copywriting and listing launch across Airbnb, Booking.com and direct booking channels.

Dynamic Pricing

We adjust nightly rates daily using occupancy, events and seasonality. Static weekly prices leave money on the table.

Guest Communication

24/7 response. Pre-stay screening. Smart check-in. Local guidebooks. A concierge experience, not a DIY message thread.

Turnover Cleaning

Vetted housekeeping teams, hotel-grade linen inventory, inspection checklists and amenity restocking between every stay.

Maintenance & Compliance

On-call handymen, safety inspections, linen rotation and full fire / CO compliance to protect your asset.

Monthly USD Statements

Transparent revenue statements with every booking, expense and fee itemised. Net USD wired to your bank.

Yield vs long-term

Short-stay typically yields 40 to 70% more than long-term in the neighbourhoods we operate in.

But only if the operation is tight. Bad photos, flat pricing, slow guest replies and patchy cleaning destroy the economics instantly. We run it like a boutique hotel, not a side hustle.
