The past several months have proved successful for us as we ventured into piloting Urban Roost on AirBnb. Through hard work and the support of many good friends, we welcomed wonderful guests and enjoyed receiving good reviews. In fact, we acquired Superhost status in April! In the middle of June, we ceased renting our pilot unit and moved Urban Roost to our own house. After we and other hard-working friends spent several weeks painting, repairing items, and laboring in the heat, we soon finished Urban Roost 2.0! Our upstairs apartment unit is now listed on AirBnb, and we've already reserved to 70% occupancy for July. We are excited to welcome new guests this summer.
Now we are on to the next phase! Southwest Gardens near the Missouri Botanical Gardens is the site of a property we purchased in February. This four-family building the boasts some beautiful one-bedroom apartments that we will soon turn into short-term rentals. While we have had to overcome some significant plumbing and renovation projects, our goal is to have three more spaces listed on AirBnb by the end of the summer. The Urban Roost touch will be all over them -- vintage meets bohemian meets a lil' bit of country meets....chickens!
Naturally, our four chickens are the current Urban Roost mascots. They are holding down the fort at our flagship Urban Roost and waiting to greet you when you visit! Come see us!
