Why contractors choose Westleton

Booking direct, not through Airbnb

Across a multi-month placement the platform fees baked into Airbnb pricing add roughly the cost of a weekend to your bill. More importantly, booking direct gets you flexibility on extensions, swaps between properties, company invoicing with PO references, and any-day check-in, none of which the platform calendars handle particularly well.
