Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sabaki ward Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Sabaki ward Airbnb took in KES 398,510 in the 12 months to October 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 KES 48,100 a month after running costs.
