Real Results: Daniella’s short term rental Success

“We had two side-by-side units in the White Mountains. The one designed by Akiva was booked more often, at a higher rate, and received better reviews. When we listed them for sale, Akiva’s design sold first — for $40k more than the other.”

Daniella, an Airbnb host from Boston, turned to Akiva for help designing multiple properties remotely. With standout interiors, consistent 5-star reviews, and higher resale value, her rentals now practically market themselves.
