Airbnb apartment setup in Lima
An empty apartment is not listed, it is prepared. The difference between one that works from the first month and one that opens with lukewarm reviews usually comes down to decisions taken before the first booking.
Setting up is not decorating. It is deciding what the property needs to compete in its area, at its capacity, for the guest it targets — without spending on things nobody will mention in a review.
We work with apartments that are already furnished and need adjusting, and with ones starting from nothing. In both cases the starting point is the same: what the area demands today, and what is missing to get there.
One of our owners describes exactly this situation: an apartment left empty for months because he did not know how to set it up or where to start.
How it runs
- 01
Diagnosis
We visit the property and compare it with its competition. The output is a list of what is missing, ordered by impact on bookings.
- 02
Budget and priorities
We separate essential from desirable. The first is whatever appears in photographs or reviews; the second can wait a quarter.
- 03
Execution
Purchasing, assembly, access, deep clean and preparing the rooms for the photography session.
- 04
Going live
Photography, listing, pricing and calendar. The property moves from ready to published and operating.

Questions about setup
01How much does it cost to set up an apartment for Airbnb?
It depends on the size, the capacity and how much is already there. That is why we deliver the list with estimated costs before anything is bought: you decide how much to invest with the numbers in front of you.
02Do you buy, or do I?
Either. We can guide the purchase so you make it yourself, or handle the coordination. What does not change is the list and the reasoning behind each item.
03Does my apartment have to be furnished for you to manage it?
Not necessarily. We assess both a property that is already set up and one that still needs equipping.
