Cleaning, linen and check-in: how running an Airbnb actually works

The part of Airbnb that no guest notices is the few hours between one guest leaving and the next arriving. That window is where your rating, your income and your Superhost status are actually decided. Yet it is exactly the part most people underestimate when they start.

A typical guest checks out at 11 and the next checks in at 15. In that short window someone has to clean the whole home, change all the beds, wash and replace towels, restock the basics, check that nothing is broken or missing, and be ready for the new arrival.

Here is an honest walk through what a good turnover in Copenhagen involves, what the cleaning costs, how to handle keys without getting into trouble, and why so many owners end up handing the day to day over to someone who does it full time.
