6 August 2026 · 3 min read · Airbnb

See how BY Administration helped Shalaka and Florian with flexible management of their short-term rental while they travelled abroad, and built a trusted partnership that has lasted many years.
“We have been with BY Administration for almost a year now and are very happy with the service provided by the team! They helped us get ready for the first guests, take care of all the communication with the guests, keep the flat in shape while we are away, and have successfully dealt with any obstacles on the way. Even when the process seemed overwhelming at times, Nour and the team and BY Administration were there to help us out with everything. The service provided by BY Administration has been highly personalised to us and our circumstances, and we have enjoyed how readily available the team is to help us, even at a very short notice and even with issues that go far beyond the agreed contract. We are just very happy we found them and would very much recommend them!”
The owners, Shalaka Thakur
For Shalaka and Florian, international work travel is a natural part of everyday life. They value the freedom to decide for themselves when their home is available for rent, so that it fits their changing travel plans. At the same time, it can be a challenge to handle the role of host while you are abroad. BY Administration offers flexible property management that lets them keep control of their rental calendar, while getting professional help and a reliable partner they can always count on.
A rental solution that fits their lifestyle
Shalaka and Florian were looking for a rental solution that could be adapted to their particular lifestyle. As they often travel abroad for work, they wanted the freedom to decide for themselves when their home should be available, and to open and close the rental calendar themselves. BY Administration understood that flexibility was essential, and so developed a service tailored to their needs rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. With flexible management of their short-term rental, they can enjoy the benefits of professional support while keeping control. That gives them greater peace of mind, wherever their work takes them.
How BY Administration supported their rental journey
Throughout the partnership, BY Administration has provided reliable support every time Shalaka and Florian’s home has been available for rent. From the day-to-day management of the rental to handling bookings and communicating with guests, the team makes sure every detail is handled professionally. This support ensures that the home is well managed while Shalaka and Florian are abroad. By taking care of the practical tasks that come with being a host, BY Administration gives them the freedom to focus on their careers and travels without the worry of handling every aspect of the rental themselves. The personal approach underlines the value of working with an experienced property management partner who understands the needs of busy homeowners.

A long-term partnership built on trust
Shalaka and Florian have been valued clients of BY Administration almost since the company began. Over the years, the partnership has grown on the basis of reliability, open communication and mutual trust. At BY Administration, good property management is about more than just delivering a service. It is about building long-term relationships with homeowners. We value the trust our clients show us, and we are proud to support owners like Shalaka and Florian with a personal approach that develops as their needs change.
