How much Airbnb income can you make in Barranco?

Short answer: not much. A typical Airbnb in Barranco pulls around 1.5% gross, based on an average daily rate of about $44 and roughly 19% occupancy. That means the place sits empty four nights out of five, and even when it's booked, the nightly rate is modest.

Keep in mind that 1.5% is gross -- before cleaning, platform fees, and management. Whatever you net after those costs is lower, though I don't have a figure to tell you exactly how much lower.

Compare that to the long-term rental net yield of 3.7%. Even before subtracting Airbnb's operating costs, the short-term number is less than half the long-term one. Once you strip out the fees, the gap only widens.

So on these numbers, long-term letting usually wins in Barranco. The Airbnb math might work for a specific, well-located, well-run unit, but the district average doesn't support it.

One honest caveat: this is a sample, not a full census, and occupancy in particular varies a lot by property and season. Treat the 19% as a rough baseline, not a promise. This is not investment advice.
