Here's What Airbnb Doesn't Tell You
When you book on Airbnb, you pay a 10-15% service fee on top of the rental price. On a $1,000 booking, that's $100-150 going to Airbnb—not your host.
We're the same Superhost with the same properties. When you book directly with us, you skip that fee entirely. Same homes. Same host. Better price.
