Here’s What Veeve Hosts Have To Say…
“As I live abroad for a considerable part of the year, it’s incredible my beautiful flat can earn money rather than lay dormant – all of which is beautifully managed by the Veeve team. An email simply pops into my in tray with the latest booking and I don’t have to worry about a thing as Veeve provide their own toiletries, sheets and more.”– Serena, Notting Hill
“We’ve been delighted with Veeve’s proactivity – advising us on availability, promoting our property, and generally making the booking process effortless on our side. They’ve also done a great job managing our guests and helping resolve the minor difficulties that inevitably arise from time to time. Thank you for your great work so far!” – Nick, Balham
