As mentioned above, Switzerland is one of the most visited cities in the world, so why not take advantage of this. The financial benefit it can bring is the main reason most of our hosts short-let with us. To give you a taster, a two bedroom apartment in Geneva can earn around CHF 3500 per month, that’s CHF 42’000 a year. Additionally, this is without using our smart pricing programme, which automates prices and helps increase earnings by taking into account a range of factors including seasonality and demand.
2. Provide an unforgettable experience
Think back to the your favourite travels and what made them so great. Likely, it’s a mix of fantastic service, location, weather and the hotel apartment you stayed. By opening your home up to guests from around the world, providing them a place where they can feel comfortable, lets them make the most of their London adventure. Feel good knowing your home has made someones trip truly unforgettable.
3. Grow your community
Allow guests to see a truer Switzerland ; the local activities, luxury shops and other shops and stops that may not be on the traditional list of a Swiss tourist. By opening your home and your community to new people from all over the world, you’re not only bring new adventures to them but new opportunities to your local neighbourhood. Growth and increased spending interest in your area will benefit you when you’re living there.
4. Switzerland events are rising
Finally, the rising number of events here in Switzerland, whether that’s large saloons like the Geneva motor show and Art Basel and the Montreux Jazz Festival or small niche attractions, further increase the value and potential of your home. It’s a great opportunity to facilitate leisure and corporate guests, while you may take a small break yourself; all payed for of course.
