You can manage the listing yourself but did you initially set up the listing yourself? If not it is under her name and she is getting all the reviews and superhost status if your listing has achieved that.
If you decide to take over, I am not sure if she will give you the listing if she was the one who created it. How do you know if she is actually giving you the amount that you deserve if you don’t know what your daily rate is, what the expenses are, etc.?
Airbnb typically does not allow transfers of listings between individuals but I have seen one where a host sold his house and was able to successfully transfer his listings. According to Airbnb policies they don’t have a way to do this. It’s true that the reviews generally follow the host, not the actual listing itself.
If you decide to take over the listing then you will likely have to create an entire new listing and rebuild your reviews. You will need to contact Airbnb and let them know that the status so she does not list your listing and get bookings when you are the owner and have taken the listing back from her management.
Having a cohost is helpful if one will be out of town/in a different time zone, or having someone cover you so guests have a point of contact if something arises during their stay or if there are inquiries that you cannot respond to in a timely manner. Some property managers are cohosts and take a percentage of your nightly earnings, while some people help set up listings for new hosts then stay on for a trial period, etc.
Look under host resources to read articles about cohosts and how much responsibility can be given to them and how it could be useful to have cohosts to help you manage a listing locally if you are out of town/state/country.
