TogetHost

Sep 2024 - Present • 1 yr 8 mos

I founded and developed TogetHost, a company specializing in short-term rental operations in France. ***STR Operations*** I manage a portfolio of tourist accommodations across two segments: business travelers and guests seeking unique, immersive experiences. My responsibilities include: - Property selection and valuation - Design and theming of accommodations - Full operational management: quality control, guest experience - Contractual and legal framework of partnerships - Long-term relationship management with property owners ***Consulting & Advisory*** In parallel, I advise property owners and investors who want to launch or optimize their short-term rental activity in France: listing optimization, dynamic pricing, operational structuring, market studies and profitability projections before acquisition. My approach is based on transmitting practical, directly applicable methods so that every property owner gains in performance while staying in control of their asset. Managing my own properties while advising others allows me to stay constantly grounded in real-world operations.
