Profit
Is an Airbnb in Carmen Apicala Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Carmen Apicala Airbnb took in COP 37,353,454 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 2,270,000 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 3,980,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the COP 1,830,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about COP 2,420,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about COP 1,970,000 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.

- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 888,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 651,000.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about COP 7,070,000, against COP 2,860,000 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Carmen Apicala listings average 4.61 stars, and 21% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
