We were not sure about renting out our place for short lets, we had rented it previously as an AST but the last tenant treated the place very badly so we were considering other options. We contacted a few short let management companies, most didn't respond. HelloGuest were quick getting back to us and the seemed most knowledgeable. They gave us some good advice and recommended that we could try short lets for a trial period to see if it could work for us and what sort of bookings and income we could get. We were quite surprised as we got a few bookings within the first week it was advertised and we have got a good number of bookings for the next few months. We have not had any major problems, just a couple of small things at the start that were sorted out quickly.
