Profit
Is an Airbnb in San Nicolás Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average San Nicolás Airbnb took in COP 147,034,125 in the 12 months to March 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 9,100,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about COP 17,500,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the COP 3,400,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about COP 9,400,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about COP 7,900,000 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How San Nicolás's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of San Nicolás listings are booked on 48% or more of their nights, against 28% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 1,260,000 adds about COP 12,600,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 1,700,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 1,260,000. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about COP 14,400,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about COP 22,500,000, against COP 9,650,000 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. San Nicolás listings average 4.88 stars, and 44% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about COP 23,400,000 a month, against COP 12,300,000 for the average one.
