March 10, 2021

If you’ve ever stayed at an Airbnb, you know that there’s a more homey feeling to it. These thoughtful touches allow travelers to travel and explore more local experiences, unlike large chain hotels and resorts. But what really goes behind-the-scenes of running an Airbnb?

My guest today on The Corporate Side Hustler is Diana Pasquali. Diana works a 9 to 5 in philanthropy and is also a super host on Airbnb. In this episode, she discusses why those personal touches that go into an Airbnb help travelers feel connected to the local community. Diana also provides some insightful tips on understanding local regulations and weighing out your costs before investing in rental property.

We chat about the logistics, style, and comfort that goes into running an Airbnb. If you’re a travel lover, Airbnb host looking to elevate your space, or you’re interested in hosting an Airbnb of your own — this episode is for you!
