Sooooo… I’m starting a new biz! My mom has two apartments, one is for full term rent the other one will be for air bnb renting for turists.
Lisbon is always full of turists and the apartment is downtown, so it’s cool.
Since I’m not doing anything and my mom needs to write her thesis (she’s finishing her doctors is anthropology), I’ll be running it. Welcoming when they arrive, cleaning when they leave.
The house will be under renovation soon and I’ll start as soon as its ready.
For some reason my town seems to be terrified of being overrun by air bnb’s for some reason. They tried a couple years back to outright ban them even.
If you do decorate it real nice just don’t make my old friend Tyler’s mistake. He had a well paying job in the tech industry right out of college and rented a huge loft in an old factory building. So he spends thousands decorating the ultimate apartment and when he decides to find a roommate he posts flyers in town with a picture of the living room. Well one day he came home to a completely empty apartment, nothing, all gone. Apparently the thieves were quite picky as he later found a few of the cheaper pieces of furniture in a dumpster across the street heh.
@mussel That’s a terrible story! Hope that doens’t happen to me!!! I’m not posting the adress anyway and the furniture will be ikea I won’t spend a lot of money.
This will be nothing but good for you. Don’t stress out about what sort of impression you make on the people you meet. Remember, they’re judging the apartment, not you.
