How much Airbnb income can you make in Miraflores?

Here's the short answer for Miraflores: a typical Airbnb runs about 1.8% gross, based on roughly $50 a night ($49.80, to be precise) and 16% occupancy. That means the place sits empty most of the month.

Two things about that 1.8%. First, it's gross -- before cleaning, platform fees and management. Whatever you net will be lower, and once you subtract those costs, meaningfully lower. Second, it's a sample, not a guarantee. Your specific building, block and listing quality will move the number.

Compare it to the long-term rental, which nets about 3.5% here. That's net against gross, and it still comes out ahead. For most owners in Miraflores, the long-term tenant wins.

Where the data is thin: I don't have a breakdown of what cleaning, fees and management actually shave off, or how occupancy varies by season and location within the district. So treat the 1.8% as a starting point, not a business plan. None of this is investment advice.
