Guides and tips for Airbnb hosts in Costa Rica.
Written from Sereno's day-to-day operations managing properties in San José: what property managers really charge, which photos convert, how taxes work, and whether long-term or short-term rental suits your property better. Real data, not theory.
This blog gathers what we learn managing Airbnb properties in San José every day: what property managers really charge and what each commission includes, how photography turns views into bookings, whether long-term or short-term rental suits your property better, and what to look at before investing in an apartment for Airbnb. It's not marketing-agency theory: it's data from our own operations, with real numbers and the decisions we make with them. If you're just starting, begin with the complete guide for hosts in Costa Rica.
We publish new articles regularly, always about something we live in the operation: a regulatory change, a mistake that cost us a booking, an improvement that raised occupancy. We're backed by the properties we already manage in San José and their guest ratings. If you'd rather see numbers than read, the ROI calculator gives you an estimate in a minute.
