Villa Home Studios manages ADUs and guest houses in Los Angeles as short-term rentals. We first check whether your ADU qualifies under the City's Home-Sharing rules, then run the listing, guests, cleaning, supplies and repairs. Because we come from construction, we know how a backyard unit is built and how to keep it in shape.
We look at the permit, the Certificate of Occupancy and whose primary residence it is before anything is listed.
Our background in construction means repairs on your unit are done properly.
House rules, quiet hours and a private guide sent before every stay.
A turnover from the unit's own checklist, signed off with photos.
Airbnb and direct bookings in one place, so a night is never sold twice.
Every booking, payout and expense, as it happens.
Sometimes. Under the City's 2026 Home-Sharing guidelines, an ADU whose building permit application was submitted on or after January 1, 2017 can be registered only if it has a Certificate of Occupancy and is the host's primary residence. An ADU without a Certificate of Occupancy cannot be registered.
If you live in the main house, the ADU usually cannot be home-shared for stays under 30 nights in the City of Los Angeles. Rules differ in other cities, so we check your exact address.
It depends on the area, size and finish. Our estimator uses an October 2026 market table built from public data (AirDNA, Rabbu, AirROI and others) to give a monthly range for your ZIP code and bedroom count.
Only if it qualifies for Home-Sharing: newer ADUs (permit application on or after January 1, 2017) need a Certificate of Occupancy and must be the host's primary residence. We check eligibility before listing.
Every home is different, so we tailor the arrangement to yours. We walk you through it on a first call and agree on everything in writing before we start.
Yes. Our estimator covers studios through large homes, and we manage units of any size.
We arrange small repairs and restock supplies, and every repair is judged by people with a building background.
