Real numbers from a real managed unit — every figure synced from our property-management system, July 2025 through June 2026. This is what professional operations produce in Accra's strongest short-stay corridor.
The apartment below is a real, continuously managed two-bedroom in our Airport Residential portfolio. We have anonymized the building and unit for the owner's privacy, but every figure is taken directly from our property-management system for the twelve months from July 2025 through June 2026. For context, AirDNA puts the median Accra listing at $794 per month at 34% occupancy — this unit averaged $3,997 per month at 97% occupancy.
Monthly gross booking revenue, July 2025 – June 2026. The September peak reflects a long premium corporate stay; December reflects Detty December seasonal pricing.
Nearly half of this unit's nights came through the Sky Suites direct network — embassies, corporates, NGOs, and 1,000+ booking agents. Direct nights carry no platform commission, which materially lifts what the owner keeps.
PriceLabs data plus manual strategy review. December nights sold at roughly double the July rate; the unit still filled 100% of December. Only about half the Accra market uses dynamic pricing at all.
50 guest reviews averaging 4.7, with 79% five-star on Airbnb. Platforms reward that consistency with search placement, which keeps the calendar full without discounting.
The $47,967 above is gross booking revenue — what guests paid, before deductions. From gross, the owner pays platform commissions on OTA bookings (zero on the 48% booked direct), the Sky Suites management fee of 15%, and operating costs such as utilities and consumables. Even after all of that, the owner's net on this unit is a multiple of the $800–1,200 per month the same apartment would fetch on a long-term lease.

We grade every property against real portfolio data like this — not projections pulled from thin air. If your unit qualifies, we will tell you what it should earn. If it does not, we will tell you that too.
