Launch Your Airbnb in Nairobi

Yes — when set up well. Our portfolio averages 75-85% occupancy with nightly rates well above market average. A well-set-up 2-bedroom in a good area can net the owner approximately KES 283,000 per month after Airbnb fees. Location, furnishing quality, and professional setup are the biggest factors. These figures are based on past performance and are not guarantees.

Furniture and materials typically run KES 800K–1.3M for a 1-bedroom and KES 1M–1.6M for a 2-bedroom — quoted at actual cost with full line-item transparency. On top of this is our flat setup fee (KES 250K for 1-bed, KES 350K for 2-bed), which covers interior design, sourcing, coordination, account setup, cleaner training, house manuals, launch strategy, and more. Photography and physical items are billed at cost with no markup. For a detailed breakdown, we offer a site visit for KES 10,000 — credited back in full if you hire us.

It depends on location, unit size, and setup quality. Based on our portfolio performance at 75% occupancy, a 1-bedroom can net approximately KES 210,000/month and a 2-bedroom approximately KES 283,000/month after Airbnb platform fees. These figures are based on past performance in specific neighborhoods and are not guarantees.

Typical Nairobi interior design firms charge KES 1.6M+ for furniture alone in a 1-bedroom — before any Airbnb setup. Our total cost (furniture + setup fee) starts around KES 1.05M for a 1-bedroom, and you get a fully launched, revenue-ready property, not just a furnished apartment.

Westlands, Kilimani, Kileleshwa, and Lavington consistently perform best for short-term rentals. These areas attract both international tourists and business travelers, with strong demand year-round. We operate across all four neighborhoods and do not take on properties in all areas.

Airbnb income is subject to taxes including Withholding Tax, which Airbnb deducts automatically from your payouts. Your specific tax obligations depend on your residency status, KRA registration, and how the property is held. We recommend consulting a qualified tax advisor for personalized guidance.

From signing to first booking is typically 4-6 weeks. That includes furnishing, professional photography, listing creation, and optimization. First booking usually comes within 7-14 days of going live.

Airbnb pays you directly to your bank account. We never hold your money. Our service fees are quoted upfront and billed separately.

No. All our setup services are standalone. We'll furnish your unit, set up your listings, take professional photos, create house manuals, and train your cleaner — whether or not you use management services. If you do want management, we offer it selectively or can connect you with a qualified manager.

We review your photos, title, description, pricing, calendar settings, and competitive positioning. You'll receive a detailed report with specific, actionable recommendations — completely free, no strings attached.

No. We work with existing hosts who want to improve their performance too. Our Photography & Optimization and Refresh packages are designed specifically for furnished units that need a boost.
