How Much Does an Airbnb in Lille Earn in 2026? (Market Study)

Average income of an Airbnb in Lille

A well-located and properly optimized apartment in Lille generates an average of €1,200 to €2,200 in gross monthly revenue, depending on the district, surface area, and quality of the listing. By comparison, a traditional long-term rental of the same property would bring in €700 to €900 per month — showing a differential of +50% to +80% in favor of short-term rentals.

These figures are calculated net of management fees. With a concierge service like Welqo (commission of 15% to 20%), the owner's net income remains significantly higher than that of a classic furnished rental.

Revenue by district in Lille (2026 data)
