Meet Kay, San Diego.
Kay owns and lets a studio flat which, though separate, is attached to her own home.
The space was previously used only by visiting friends and family, but with Houst’s help is now also rented by paying guests year-round.

Houst does the vetting of prospective guests, confirms the booking, provides the cleaning and laundry service, and then deposits the net earnings in my account.
“Yes, I put work into each booking I get. I add treats and snacks for guests and will give them my personal contact information in case they need anything urgently. I think the personal touch from an owner is important and makes it rewarding for me, but I wouldn’t want to host without the backup and work of Houst.”
“Naturally there have been glitches, but nothing major. Having good people who work with me and the cleaning crew is essential. That’s the truth - it could not work without that back-up.”
“I’m retired, so the additional income is really useful for living expenses, bills, and travel. I can afford to travel and see my two granddaughters a bit more regularly too! I’ve only been with Houst around six months but I’ve made $6000 so far from a small studio.”
“I have more freedom. I don't have to worry about the bills or the mortgage now.”
