Pueblo Libre is not a district where the long-term let wins. A 2-bedroom here runs about 6.5% gross long-term against roughly 9.1% on Airbnb — a gap of near 2.6 points, and the short-stay side takes it.
The long-term figure subtracts property tax, arbitrios, rental income tax and a 3% vacancy allowance. It does not subtract mantenimiento, because in a Lima long-term let the tenant pays that, not you. The Airbnb figure subtracts the platform fee, host-paid utilities and internet, income tax, mantenimiento, property tax and arbitrios — the host carries mantenimiento here, and no guest reimburses it.
That Airbnb number assumes you self-manage. It does not subtract furnishing or fit-out, cleaning, turnover or consumables, or management fees. If you hand the flat to an agency, the roughly 9.1% is not what lands in your account.
So who does this suit? Someone who wants the higher gross and will do the work — a 2-bed in Pueblo Libre is a plausible short-stay unit, and the roughly 9.1% is the reason to bother. If you want a tenant and a quiet life, the about 6.5% long-term is what you get, and the gap of near 2.6 points is the price of that quiet.
The data here is thin: two gross yields and a gap, nothing on occupancy, nightly rates or seasonality. Treat the roughly 9.1% as a headline, not a forecast. Not investment advice.
