About the Data
We are considering the dataset of two countries, Switzerland and Sydney and comparing
the performance of AirBnB in the two countries.

 room_id: A unique number identifying an Airbnb listing. The listing has a


URL on the Airbnb web site of http://airbnb.com/rooms/room_id

 host_id: A unique number identifying an Airbnb host. The host’s page has a
URL on the Airbnb web site of http://airbnb.com/users/show/host_id

 room_type: One of “Entire home/apt”, “Private room”, or “Shared room”

 borough: A subregion of the city or search area for which the survey is carried
out. The borough is taken from a shapefile of the city that is obtained
independently of the Airbnb web site. For some cities, there is no borough
information; for others the borough may be a number. If you have better
shapefiles for a city of interest, please send them to me.

 neighborhood: As with borough: a subregion of the city or search area for


which the survey is carried out. For cities that have both, a neighbourhood is
smaller than a borough. For some cities there is no neighbourhood
information.

 reviews: The number of reviews that a listing has received. Airbnb has said
that 70% of visits end up with a review, so the number of reviews can be used
to estimate the number of visits. Note that such an estimate will not be reliable
for an individual listing (especially as reviews occasionally vanish from the
site), but over a city as a whole it should be a useful metric of traffic.

 overall_satisfaction: The average rating (out of five) that the listing has
received from those visitors who left a review.

 accommodates: The number of guests a listing can accommodate.

 bedrooms: The number of bedrooms a listing offers.

 price: The price (in $US) for a night stay. In early surveys, there may be some
values that were recorded by month.

 minstay: The minimum stay for a visit, as posted by the host.

 latitude and longitude: The latitude and longitude of the listing as posted on
the Airbnb site: this may be off by a few hundred metres. I do not have a way
to track individual listing locations with

PAGE 1
 last_modified: the date and time that the values were read from the Airbnb
web site.
