Profit
Is an Airbnb in Mariano Melgar Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Mariano Melgar Airbnb took in PEN 6,249 in the 12 months to April 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 PEN 740 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.
