Success Stories : How Parisian Homeowners Transformed Their Homes into Airbnb Success Stories
Paris, the City of Lights, attracts millions of tourists every year in search of authentic and unique experiences. For property owners, this growing demand represents an incredible opportunity. However, transforming a standard apartment into a true Airbnb success story requires much more than simply listing on the platform.
Marie : Maximizing income with a studio in the Marais
Marie, a young, dynamic executive, owns a cozy studio apartment in the historic Marais district. Initially, she rented her home occasionally to friends and acquaintances.
“I thought renting my apartment on Airbnb would be easy, but managing reservations, welcoming guests, and cleaning was too time-consuming. I was overwhelmed,” she explains.
So Marie turned to La Conciairgerie, a specialized concierge service. The company took care of everything: from professional photos to dynamic pricing management to welcoming guests. The result? Marie's revenue increased by 50% in less than a year.
“I never thought my small studio could be so profitable. The key was to let professionals take the reins,” she concludes.
Jean and Sophie : Making their family apartment a popular destination
Jean and Sophie own a three-room apartment in the 7th arrondissement, overlooking the Eiffel Tower. After their children left home, they decided to rent it out during their absences.
“We wanted to share our home with travelers, but we were worried about maintenance and safety,” says Sophie.
After entrusting management to La Conciairgerie, they were pleasantly surprised by the results. The company offered to add personal touches, such as a welcome book with local recommendations and thoughtful touches for each arrival. Their apartment is now booked almost year-round.
“Not only are we earning extra income, but we've received rave reviews that really make us happy. It's been a very rewarding experience,” adds Jean.
Luc : Transforming an old workshop into a trendy loft
Luc, an interior designer, saw potential in a former artist's studio located in the Belleville neighborhood. However, he knew that to stand out on a competitive platform like Airbnb, he needed to create a unique experience.
“I renovated the space with trendy decor and modern amenities, but I wanted to make sure my home reached the right audience,” he explains.
La Conciairgerie optimized the listing with strategic keywords and high-quality photos. It also offered premium services, such as a private chef for travelers interested in discovering French gastronomy. Within months, Luc's loft was listed as a "Superhost" on Airbnb and became one of the most sought-after properties in the area.
Investing in good management and personalized experiences was the best decision I ever made. Travelers love it, and so do I!”
