Research Ideas

• If there's a relationship between the price per listing and how long it is available on Airbnb, this could be used to recommend lower prices for listings that are unlikely to stay booked for very long periods of time.
• There might be a relationship between the number of reviews per month and the calculated host listings count. If there is, this information could be used to help improve customer satisfaction by either recommending that hosts with lots of listings receive more reviews or that they stagger their listing availabilities so that they can provide better service.
• The neighbourhood data could be used to cluster listings into areas with similar characteristics, which would then allow customers to easily find similar listings in different areas of the city based on their preferences
