Profit
Is an Airbnb in Nyadhuna ward Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Nyadhuna ward Airbnb took in KES 313,919 in the 12 months to April 2025, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about KES 29,900 a month after running costs.
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 Nyadhuna ward's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Nyadhuna ward listings are booked on 69% or more of their nights, against 45% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of KES 3,245 adds about KES 32,400 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge KES 4,215 a night or more, against a median of KES 3,245. 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 KES 31,400 a year.
- Open for the busy months. May brought the average listing about KES 113,000, against KES 43,900 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 KES 40,700 a month, against KES 26,200 for the average one.
