How did we start?
Founded in 2021 by co-founders Gabriele Lackerer Villabruna and Jacopo Rebesan, AU Smart Rentals quickly established itself as a leading name in Sydney’s short-term rental and Airbnb management industry. Starting in Bondi Beach, Bondi Junction, and Waverley, the company rapidly expanded across Sydney’s eastern suburbs and inner-city areas through a results-driven and guest-focused approach.
The foundation of AU Smart Rentals’ success lies in building strong, long-lasting relationships with both property owners and guests. By combining exceptional customer service, meticulous attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the Sydney short-term rental market, the company has developed a reputation for delivering high-performing Airbnb management solutions.
Supported by advanced pricing technology, data-driven strategies, and professional property management systems, AU Smart Rentals maximises occupancy, increases rental returns, and maintains properties to the highest standards. This unique combination of hospitality expertise, innovation, and local market experience has positioned AU Smart Rentals as one of Sydney’s fastest-growing short-term rental management companies
