I’m Marie Achebe — entrepreneur, speaker, and mentor — best known as the UK Airbnb Queen. I built a six-figure short-term rental empire in London by turning ordinary apartments into extraordinary guest experiences
Marie can. And she’s got the receipts.
Today, I manage 50+ Airbnb units, host corporate travelers, and run my education platform, the Digital Property Boss Academy, where I teach others how to achieve financial freedom through property without owning a single house.
HOUSE OF ZALEX
Beyond Airbnb, Marie is the founder of House of Zalex, her clothing line and lifestyle community that ties her ventures together into one cohesive brand. House of Zalex represents more than fashion; it's a statement about living boldly, building unapologetically, and creating a life that reflects your values.
Through House of Zalex, Marie has cultivated a community of like-minded entrepreneurs, creatives, and dreamers who refuse to settle for ordinary. It's where her passion for business meets her love for style, community, and authentic connection.
Whether she's hosting events, dropping new collections, or sharing insights with her community, Marie uses House of Zalex as a platform to inspire others to build legacies that extend beyond bank accounts.
DIGITAL PROPERTY BOSS ACADEMY
Marie's mission extends far beyond her own portfolio. As the founder of the Digital Property Boss Academy (DPBA), she's dedicated to empowering others to achieve financial freedom through property, even if they're starting from zero.
DPBA isn't your typical online course. It's a transformational education platform designed for ambitious, career-driven individuals who are tired of trading time for money and ready to build wealth on their own terms. Marie teaches her students the exact strategies she used to build her six-figure Airbnb business, from sourcing properties and negotiating with landlords to optimizing listings and delivering world-class guest experiences.
Her Airbnb hosting tips aren't generic advice you can find on a blog. They're battle-tested systems that have generated millions in bookings. She covers everything: how to scale without burnout, how to automate operations, and most importantly, how to start Airbnb without owning property, the same strategy that launched her empire.
What makes Marie an exceptional short-term rental mentor UK students rave about? She's been in the trenches. She's made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and reverse-engineered success so others don't have to figure it out alone.
