What landlords, and their guests, say about us
Happy guests are what make your property earn. Here's both sides of the relationship, from our 7,426+ guest reviews.
“Steph's eye for detail is second to none, she took our brief and delivered exactly what we were after, and then some! From the initial consultation to completion, we have had nothing but a positive experience using City Superhost and will definitely be giving Steph a call when we come to start future projects.”
“City Superhost helped redesign and furnish our living and dining rooms. From selecting the furniture to directing on design, Steph was there every step of the way to bring our vision to life.”
“Brilliantly located and spotless. Hosts were fantastic. Really helpful information and on hand if we had any queries. Best Airbnb experience I have had yet!”
“Comfortable and spacious central apartment. The hosts were very easy to contact, I certainly would happily book through them again.”
Questions, answered
Thinking it over? Start here.
What's a fair Airbnb management fee in Manchester?
The genuine market range in Manchester is 12–20% of booking revenue + VAT. We charge a flat 15% per booking + VAT for the whole ongoing service: listing, pricing, guest vetting, 24/7 communications, cleaning coordination, maintenance and compliance. Beyond a one-off onboarding fee, there are no monthly minimums, no per-booking extras and no lock-in, just a 30-day notice period.
How involved do I need to be once you take over?
As involved as you want to be, most owners settle into a monthly statement and a bank transfer. We handle guests, cleaning, pricing, maintenance and compliance, and only call you about decisions that genuinely need an owner.
What could my property earn on Airbnb in Manchester?
Market-wide, median Manchester nightly rates sit around £105–£120. As a rough guide, a central one-bed typically grosses £18k–£26k a year and a well-located two-bed £28k–£45k, it varies enormously by neighbourhood and furnishing, which is exactly what our free valuation estimates for your specific property.
Do I need planning permission to short-let in Manchester?
It depends on your postcode. Parts of Manchester have Article 4 Directions, and converting a residential property to a predominantly short-let use can amount to a material change of use. We check the postcode-specific position, plus your lease and mortgage terms, as part of onboarding.
Who owns my listing and its reviews?
Listings run from the established City Superhost host profile, which carries a 4.8★ average and 7,426+ guest reviews. That means your property launches with a proven track record behind it instead of starting from zero, which is one of the strongest ranking and conversion advantages a new listing can have.
How quickly can we start?
From a 15-minute valuation call to a live, earning listing is typically 1–2 weeks for a furnished property, photography, listing build, pricing setup and compliance checks included. Already listed? We can usually take over in days.
Do you manage serviced accommodation and holiday lets, or just Airbnbs?
All of it, the labels overlap more than people think. Whether you'd call your property an Airbnb, a serviced apartment, a holiday let, a short-term rental or a small B&B-style operation, the work is the same: listings across 30+ platforms, guest vetting, 24/7 communication, cleaning and compliance. We also act as an Airbnb co-host where owners prefer the listing to stay in their own name.
