About Extra Stan
How we help you rent your apartment without stress
Extra Stan is a practical, content-first platform for short-term rental hosts. We turn real hosting problems into clear guides, trusted service recommendations, and 1:1 support when you need it.
Our mission
Make hosting feel simple—even when it’s not
Short-term rentals can be rewarding, but the learning curve is real: pricing, guest communication, cleaning standards, photos, maintenance, and the endless “what ifs.” We built Extra Stan to be the calm, reliable place you can come back to—whether you’re listing your first apartment or optimizing your tenth.
Everything we publish is designed to be actionable: checklists, templates, step-by-step walkthroughs, and recommendations you can trust. No fluff—just the stuff that actually moves the needle.
What we believe
Good hosting is a system, not a personality
The best hosts don’t “wing it.” They build repeatable routines: a clear setup, a reliable cleaning process, a photo-ready space, and a simple way to handle issues. We focus on systems you can run—so your rental works even when you’re busy.
The team behind Extra Stan
We’re a small team of hosts, writers, and operations nerds who love turning messy real-life hosting into clear, helpful guidance.
