Short let or long lease in Parklands?
USD 1,302 to 2,220 / month
Our fee is 20% of revenue. Cleaning, consumables, utilities and furnishing come out of what is left.
USD 1,000 to 1,500 / month
Our fee is 10% of collected rent. Almost no operating cost, one tenant, a predictable figure.
Short-letting usually wins on gross and always costs more to run, so the real gap is narrower than these two lines suggest. We will tell you which one your specific unit suits, and we are happy to say a long lease, because a badly matched short let earns less than a good tenant and takes far more work.

Parklands is not interchangeable with the rest of Nairobi.
The one Nairobi neighbourhood with a genuine medical-stay market, because Aga Khan University Hospital sits in it. Patients and accompanying family book for weeks at a time, they book at short notice, and they care about being able to walk to the hospital far more than about styling.
The rate ceiling is the lowest of the areas we manage, so this works on occupancy and low turnover cost rather than on nightly rate. It rewards a practical, spotless unit over a beautiful one.

Short-letting in Parklands, answered.
Is short-letting in Parklands better than a long lease?
On our numbers a well-presented 2-bed in Parklands grosses roughly USD 1,302 to 2,220 a month short-let, against USD 1,000 to 1,500 on a long lease. Short-letting usually wins on gross and costs more to run, so the gap narrows after cleaning, consumables, utilities and furnishing. It is the right answer when the unit suits the guest mix here and you can fund the setup; a long lease is the right answer when you want a predictable figure and no operating exposure.
What occupancy should I expect in Parklands?
We plan on 62% to 74% across a full year in Parklands, not the headline figures you see quoted. The rate ceiling is the lowest of the areas we manage, so this works on occupancy and low turnover cost rather than on nightly rate. It rewards a practical, spotless unit over a beautiful one.
Who actually books short stays in Parklands?
Medical visitors, regional business travel, visiting families. The one Nairobi neighbourhood with a genuine medical-stay market, because Aga Khan University Hospital sits in it. Patients and accompanying family book for weeks at a time, they book at short notice, and they care about being able to walk to the hospital far more than about styling.
What does Goldstay charge for Airbnb management in Parklands?
20% of revenue collected, with no onboarding or listing fee. The only setup charge is professional photography where we judge it necessary, at USD 100 for a studio or one-bed and USD 150 for two bedrooms or more, payable in advance or deducted from your first payout.
Will my building in Parklands allow short lets?
Not always, and it is the first thing to check rather than the last. A growing number of Nairobi buildings restrict or ban short lets in their house rules, and some cap the number of units that may operate one. We confirm the building's position before we list anything, and if it does not permit short-letting we will say so and put the unit on a long lease instead.
