The Story Behind the Guides

Most people learn about short-stay rentals from scattered videos, social media posts and conflicting advice. I took the long road: I hosted, furnished and managed real properties, dealt with real guests, cleaners, payments and complaints, and learned what actually works in the Kenyan market.

Beyond hosting, I have held consultations, sold Masterclass tickets and E-Guides, helped people launch their short-stay businesses, and set up and managed several short-stay rentals myself.

“The knowledge is already in one place. Now you just have to use it.”— Purity Kathambi Mbaabu, Airbnb host & Real Estate Lawyer

๐Ÿ  The Host’s Eye

Five years of hosting taught me opportunity and feasibility, listing set-up, pricing, guest support and the daily operations that keep 5-star reviews coming.

⚖️ The Lawyer’s Eye

As a real estate lawyer, property was never just a listing to me. I have seen what happens when hosting happens without the right agreement: overstays, payment disputes and legal headaches.

Hands-on hosting, real estate law and years of consultations all went into the E-Guide and the Masterclass. Not one or the other. Both, at the same time.
