The Home Stay Guide: Practical advice for Airbnb and homeshare hosts

Gabriela Domicelj (Author) Gabriela Domicelj and Derek Young became homeshare hosts accidentally. After living in their 9-acre property in the Blue Mountains, Australia, for two years, they moved to Singapore for work. They were reluctant to sell the property, so they asked friends to manage short-term rentals with the view to covering the property's costs. After a couple of years, they saw an opportunity to formalise the business and to drive both excellence and profit. Today, they are passionate supporters of the sharing economy, the growing Airbnb industry and delivering the 'perfect' guest experience.Derek Young (Author) Derek Young has worked in wealth management for 30 years, providing fee-based financial advice to private clients in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and Australia.
