Sale and rent listings were re-scraped on 2026-09-17 — asking prices, that day. Airbnb figures are a monthly aggregate for 2026-09: nightly rates and occupancy measured across that month, not that day. Lima only, and asking prices throughout — no transaction data exists for this market.

How much Airbnb income can you make in Jesús María?

n = 645 Airbnb listings · source: airroi · as of 2026-09-17 · methodology →

Jesús María Airbnb comes in at about 7.1% gross, on roughly $51 a night and near 56% occupancy. That is the number before anything is paid out, and it is a sample, not a guarantee for your flat.

The long-term side nets about 5.1%. That figure already subtracts property tax, arbitios, 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 arbitios. The host pays mantenimiento here, and no guest reimburses it. Neither figure subtracts furnishing or fit-out, cleaning or turnover, or management fees, because the owner self-manages on both sides.

So the gross Airbnb number sits about 1.9 points above the net long-term one, and that gap is thinner than it looks once you account for the work. Long-term usually wins in Jesús María, and the honest caveat is that the short-term sample is small and the occupancy is the part most likely to move against you.

The typical Lima Airbnb earns less than a long-term tenant. The top quarter earns more.

Not a hunch — we price every listed apartment in eight districts both ways, self-managed, after tax, HOA and real occupancy. One email a week: what moved, which listings the numbers actually favour, and where the consensus looks wrong.
