For owners who want performance without the workload

A property manager should do more than hand over keys.

Short-term rental performance is built every day: pricing, availability, ranking, guest communication, cleaning quality, maintenance speed and review management. Apricus runs the whole operation.

One team. The full rental cycle.

From preparing the apartment to guest checkout and monthly reporting, Apricus handles the moving parts that determine owner returns.

01

Revenue & pricing

Rates are actively adjusted around demand, seasonality, events, booking pace and remaining availability.

02

Listing & distribution

Professional positioning across major booking platforms and direct channels, with calendars kept coordinated.

03

Guest operations

Fast communication, check-in coordination, registration, support during the stay and checkout control.

04

Cleaning & linen

Operational cleaning standards, linen turnover and property readiness before every arrival.

05

Maintenance

Issues are coordinated quickly with our operational team so small problems do not become expensive guest problems.

06

Owner reporting

Clear performance visibility, financial statements and an owner portal for ongoing control.

Short-term vs long-term

More flexibility. More active management.

Short-term renting is not automatically better for every apartment. The right decision depends on the building, unit, furnishing, owner plans and current demand. We assess that before recommending a strategy.

FAQ

Questions owners usually ask first.

The details depend on your apartment. These are the principles we use before onboarding.

Ask about my property
How much can my apartment earn?

There is no responsible one-number answer without reviewing the building, apartment type, view, condition, furnishing, seasonality and comparable demand. We provide a property-specific forecast before onboarding.

Do I need to furnish the apartment?

Holiday homes need to be guest-ready and competitively presented. We can advise on furnishing, setup and improvements where required.

Who handles guests, cleaning and maintenance?

Apricus coordinates the operational cycle, including guest communication, check-in processes, cleaning and maintenance support.

Can I still use my apartment?

Short-term rental can provide more owner-use flexibility than a conventional annual lease. Specific dates and booking restrictions should be coordinated in advance.

How do I see performance?

Owners receive ongoing reporting and can access performance information through the owner portal.
