We box, store, and secure your personal items so your space feels clean and guest-ready — and you can rent with peace of mind.

My ”bostadsrättsförening” doesn’t allow Airbnb. What now?

They may disapprove, but they can’t legally prohibit it. We vet guests, maintain high standards, and share our contact details for full transparency.

Do I need liability insurance?

No. Airbnb and other platforms include $1 million in host liability coverage.

Yes, if you earn over SEK 40,000 per year. We’ll guide you on what to report and help with the paperwork.

What if something gets damaged or stolen?

We safely store valuables and provide up to $3 million in guest damage protection.

How do you set my property’s price?

We in real-time and use specialised AI tools to analyze local demand, size, season, and performance — updated daily to maximize your earnings.
