We have earned more through having it on short-term rental than we would have if we just rented it even as a furnished apartment. If somebody's looking for a very polished, well-organised, professional orgranisation to manage their Airbnb, you actually could not go past Hometime.
David and Eric
The income has far exceeded my expectations. If I rent it out permanently unfurnished, the rental would be very average versus what I'm getting from Hometime... less than half, frankly, it's gone really well. The income is just superb.
Michael
Hometime literally makes it possible for us to rent our property - we wouldn't be able to manage it without them. They're super responsible and a joy to deal with.
Ian
It was suggested to us that for the first yearat least we could get 70% occupancy, and I think pretty much from thego we were 90% and many months we're 95%, if not 98% occupancy, which is so much more than we anticipated.
