Profit
Is an Airbnb in São Thomé das Letras Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average São Thomé das Letras Airbnb took in R$14,033 in the 12 months to September 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about R$1,640 a month after running costs.
