At our recent Host2Host webinar, three expert guests joined us to share how their platforms can help short-term rental hosts streamline operations, boost revenue, and explore new models of hospitality. Each speaker offered tools and ideas tailored to the needs of today’s independent hosts.
Paige Curasi – Breezeway
Paige kicked off the event with an introduction to Breezeway, a property operations platform designed specifically for short-term rentals. She walked us through tools that help hosts manage their listings more efficiently -- from scheduling and tracking cleaning and maintenance tasks to automating guest messaging and offering 24/7 guest support.
Attendees especially appreciated Breezeway’s ability to help solo hosts feel more organized and responsive without adding more to their workload.
Karishma Lunawat – PriceLabs
Karishma followed with insights from PriceLabs, a dynamic pricing tool that helps hosts adjust rates based on market demand and seasonality. She explained how hosts can customize their pricing strategies while using automation to stay competitive. Her demo of recent updates and real-world use cases sparked plenty of interest, particularly around the balance of flexibility and control PriceLabs provides.
Alexandra Humbel Origet – People Like Us
Alexandra wrapped up the event with a heartfelt presentation about People Like Us, a global home exchange network. Unlike booking platforms focused on income, this community allows hosts to swap homes for travel -- offering a rich, budget-friendly way to explore the world. Her stories of real members forming lifelong friendships through exchanges reminded us that hospitality always has been about making real connections.
Lively Q&A and Host Takeaways
Attendees asked thoughtful questions about setup, support, costs, and integration with existing tools. Many were excited to explore these platforms further -- whether to professionalize their hosting experience with Breezeway and PriceLabs, or to rethink their travel goals with People Like Us.
