One thing I'll say regarding your reference to a "strong Airbnb history" is past performance is no guarantee of future results.

.* And for low performing properties one of the features i really like is you can make a change to your listing - lets say update the property description, log it, then see if this makes any chances in your placement.I'm not affiliated with them but think its a great tool to turn around poor performing properties - assuming the STR is competitive compared to your competition.I agree with Henry that you can probably do better self-managing IF you have the time and appetite for dealing with guests and learning the dos and don't....Heres is the turnaround of one of our Floridas STR that was lagging - now back to near the top on the first page.
