The Basics

What Is Airbnb & Short-Let Management?

Airbnb and short-let management is a fully outsourced service where a specialist team runs your property as a short-term rental on your behalf. Instead of juggling bookings around your own life, you hand the keys to an operator who treats the property like a small hospitality business.

That covers everything end to end: building and optimising the listing, dynamic nightly pricing, guest messaging and vetting, check-ins and check-outs, hotel-grade cleaning and linen, review management, routine maintenance, and the safety and compliance paperwork that comes with short letting. You receive one clear monthly payout — with none of the day-to-day work.

Blue Flame Stays manages a growing portfolio of apartments and homes across London and UK wide, giving landlords hotel-standard operations and transparent reporting without lifting a finger.
