Nicolas, founder of BNBHERE, started his short-term rental journey in 2014 with a single investment in Antibes. What began as a personal venture soon turned into a full-time business when he saw the potential of the short-term rental market.
Today, BNBHERE manages over 150 listings—ranging from cozy studios to luxurious villas. This was possible in part thanks to the PriceLabs Smily integration, which enabled smoother operations.
The Turning Point: Adopting the PriceLabs and Smily Integration
In the early stages, Nicolas relied solely on Airbnb and personal market intuition to price his listings.
This approach worked until about 30 listings.
After that, updating prices frequently and efficiently became a real challenge. That’s when the PriceLabs Smily integration became a game-changer.
“I was introduced to both platforms by Romain Giacalone. The integration was very simple to set up, and with a little guidance from Romain and Marie, I quickly learned to use PriceLabs on my own,”
The PriceLabs Smily integration eliminated manual work and provided BNBHERE with the tools to stay dynamic and competitive in a fast-moving market.
Favorite Features and Day-to-Day Impact
When asked what he finds most helpful about PriceLabs, Nicolas points to the daily price updates and access to real-time market data.
“Dynamic pricing only works if the data is fresh, and PriceLabs ensures that. The bulk edit feature is another huge time-saver.”
As for Smily, Nicolas describes it as a high-performing, stable PMS with excellent customer support.
“There are very few technical issues, and when something does come up, the Smily team solves it fast. It’s a solid partnership.”
Results That Speak Volumes
Although Nicolas doesn’t track every metric, the impact of adopting the PriceLabs Smily integration is clear. As a result, his revenue has increased sixfold and his portfolio has tripled in just two years.
“These two solutions have helped us grow sustainably and manage our operations efficiently”
Both PriceLabs and Smily were essential in helping Nicolas scale operations at BNBHERE.
PriceLabs delivered dynamic pricing and market insights, making revenue management easier. Smily provided a reliable, intuitive PMS that streamlined daily operations.
Together, the PriceLabs Smily integration proved to be a powerful combination—automating core workflows and enabling BNBHERE to grow from a single property to over 150 listings with confidence and control.
