How much Airbnb income can you make in Pueblo Libre?

Short answer: not much. A typical short-term rental in Pueblo Libre grosses about 0.8% a year, built on an average nightly rate of roughly $30 and occupancy of about 14%. That means the place sits empty most of the month.

And 0.8% is gross. Take out cleaning, platform fees and management, and what actually lands in your pocket is lower. This is also drawn from a small sample, so treat it as a rough signal, not a precise forecast.

Compare that with long-term letting, which nets about 3.9% here. Even before you subtract Airbnb's running costs, long-term is roughly five times the gross yield. On these numbers, long-term wins in Pueblo Libre.

The 14% occupancy is the whole story -- Pueblo Libre isn't a tourist-heavy district, so you don't get the booking volume that makes short-term math work elsewhere.

I don't have data on seasonality, specific building rules, or what a well-run listing at the top of the market might do. This is a district average, not advice on your particular flat.
