    Mert and Isabella are exceptional hosts. The house was perfectly clean, everything a guest might need was already there. It was not just an accommodation, it was home. But more than that, Isabella is one of the most caring people I’ve ever met. I feel lucky to have had a chance to chat with her, and sure feel like I have a friend in Istanbul as well as a home when I need. Thank you for everything 💜

Who you'd be working with

I'm Mert. I've been hosting for five years, in Turkey, in Herzliya and in Safed. I host my own apartments and co-host for other owners. My Airbnb rating is 4.98. It's public, so you can read every review before we talk. I speak Hebrew and English. When you hand me your apartment, you work with me, not a call centre. I answer the guests, and I'm the one you call.

Four things you can check

  • My rating is public. 4.98★ on Airbnb. You can check it before you call me, and again a year later.

  • My own money is on the same platforms. I host my own apartments the same way I'll host yours. If something doesn't work, I find out on my own apartment first.

  • No lock-in. 30 days' notice, no exit fee, no minimum term. You can take the key back whenever you want.

  • Cleaning at cost. You pay what the cleaner charges. I never add a margin on cleaning.

What it costs

12% basic. 17% full service. Both are a share of what the platform pays you, not counting cleaning.

Questions owners ask

Can I still use the apartment myself?

Yes. Tell me your dates and I block them on all three platforms. I can often do it the same day, but I'm not on call around the clock.

Who gets paid, and when?

On Airbnb, the platform pays you, and my share comes out of that payout. On Booking.com and Vrbo, the platform pays you, and I invoice you for my share.

What does cleaning cost?

It depends on the apartment and the cleaner. Guests usually pay it through the cleaning fee. When they don't, you pay what the cleaner charges, with nothing added, and it's on your monthly statement.

What if a guest damages something?

I file the claim with the platform. If the platform covers it, it's paid. If it doesn't, the cost is yours.

Do I need a licence? What about arnona?

Short-term rentals in Israel come with rules on business licensing, arnona and VAT. On full service, I guide you through the ones that apply to your apartment. For tax, your accountant has the final word.

How long until my apartment is live?

About a week from our first call.

Which areas do you cover?

I'm based in Herzliya. Send me the address on WhatsApp and I'll tell you if I can take it on.

How do I stop?

Give me 30 days' written notice. There's no exit fee and no minimum term. Whose name the listings are in is your choice, and we agree it when we start.
