Air BNB the Game Changer in Short Stay Accommodation Industry

The rise of furnished apartments has brought about a remarkable transformation in the accommodation industry. This trend has become so influential that hotels are adapting by repurposing their rooms into furnished apartments to cater to the growing demand for staycations. The concept of stepping into a space that feels like a personal home, where one can live comfortably and undisturbed until their tasks are complete, is an intriguing one.

In destinations such as Mombasa, which heavily relies on tourism, the prevalence of Airbnbs has taken root in every corner. This influx has had a profound impact on the real estate sector, leading to an increased demand that surpasses the available supply. A conversation with a developer situated in Nyali, Mombasa, has revealed that apartments are being sold out well in advance of their completion. Many purchasers not only buy these apartments but also furnish them, subsequently renting them out as vacation homes. These accommodations come fully equipped with all the amenities one would expect in a residence. Notably, they even include a house manager who attends to daily housekeeping.

An AirBnB investor with a base in Kilifi shared that she generates approximately Ksh. 50,000 per month from each of her two-bedroom apartments located across Kilifi town. This insight underscores the significant financial potential that this trend presents for property owners.

In summary, the advent of furnished apartments has brought about a notable shift in how people experience accommodation. From bustling holiday towns to real estate markets, the impact is undeniable. Morara Properties offers you the chance to enjoy the comforts of home even when away.
