We are looking to do the same thing for a flat in Athens which we'll turn into another artist's studio.Instead of the 2% rule, I have a 3% rule when looking for properties like this: it covers management and cleaning fees and utilities.Some key elements to doing well on Air BnB:* Beautiful, well-lit photos* Excellent location convenient to transport* Well written ad with thorough description of local attractionsWhat can make up for a lack in any of the above:* A quirky design/unique lodging experience, at a low price NB: Air BnB type services have been drawing the ire of hotel lobbyists to local governments, and many renters don't pay taxes on the $ earned.
