Additional charges may apply for the guests.
Guests’ keys:
One set of key is always with the guest. We pass it to them at check-in, and we take it from them at check-out. For bookings back to back, we still take it from the previous guest and hand it to the next guest ourselves.
Office keys:
The office keys is securely kept in our office safe.
You can come and pick them up at no charge or delivery can be organised for you if required (either trackable mail or courier). We prefer to hand them to you personally so you can sign off on collection.
If at a later stage you require our service again, you will need to send the keys back at least 48 hours before the service is due.
After each service, keys are returned back to the safe. Keys are marked and identified with a secured code.

We believe that Airbnb is peer-to-peer exchange and is not a hotel service.
So, we do not provide 24/7 service.
Saying that, we will respond, where possible, to queries addressed to us.
As you can see from our profile, we have always maintained a response rate close to 100%.
We charge 16-22% of the total listed price. An additional cleaning fee of $70-140 (per bedroom, per stay) is applied.
This is typically passed on to the guest through Airbnb.
You collect the money directly on your account and we send you an invoice on a monthly basis.
Example:
You want to list your 1 bedroom property for $200/night.
We will add a $70 cleaning fee to be paid by the guests through Airbnb.
If you have a 3 night booking , you will collect $675 (3x$200 for the stay + $75 for the cleaning) minus Airbnb fees.
You will receive around $480 for this booking: $120 for the stay (20% of $600) plus Airbnb fees.
You will have full visibility of all payments via your Airbnb management interface.
