“My overall experience with GuestReady has been excellent. I feel the guest is always at the centre of attention and that the whole team does everything possible to provide a perfect, worry-free stay. The attention to detail, the professionalism and the way everything is followed up give me great confidence. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to entrust the management of my apartment to GuestReady. I’m very grateful for all the team’s work and dedication.” (Translated from Portuguese)

Guests while Patrick is away, his home free when he comes back

For five years, the apartment in Bonfim had one regular occupant: a friend of Patrick’s. For the next two years, it sat closed most of the time. Patrick only stayed there two months a year at most.

In September 2026, he handed the management over to GuestReady. The team takes care of guests, maintenance and day-to-day follow-up, and the apartment hosts mid-term stays while Patrick is away from Portugal.

When he wants to come back to Porto, he blocks the dates in the calendar. The team handles the rest.

For owners who only use their property part of the year, GuestReady’s airbnb management in Porto combines personal stays with guest bookings. The owner picks the dates they want to use the home and earns income from mid-term stays while away, with a local team that knows Porto looking after the property.
