What is Airbnb?

Airbnb is an online accommodation portal that allows hosts to list their properties for short term rental. The company was founded in San Francisco in 2008 by two entrepreneurs who came up with the idea when looking for ways to meet their high rental costs. Travelers like using Airbnb as it offers a cheaper alternative to hotels and gives them a more authentic experience. The company was valued at ** billion U.S dollars in 2018.

Airbnb in London

London is one the most popular cities in the world for Airbnb use: London had the highest number of Airbnb guest arrivals in Europe as of 2017, which is unsurprising considering it is one of the most visited tourist cities in the world. Compared to the rest of the UK, just over a third of active Airbnb listings were in London. The growth of Airbnb in London however was not without its problems. Like other cities, councils and communities raised concerns regarding the impact on the local housing supply and having control over who is living in the rentals. This led the Greater London Council to apply a 90-day limit on listings for entire homes in one year.

The current average price per night globally on Airbnb is $137 per night.

As of December, 2024, there were over ** thousand listings for room and apartment rentals in London on the Airbnb website, the highest of any other major European city. Airbnb listings were also high in Paris, Rome and Madrid. Paris accounted for around ** thousand listings, while Rome and Madrid had over ** and ** thousand, respectively. Controversy of Airbnb in Europe Airbnb has become an increasingly popular option for tourists looking for local accommodation. Visitors are attracted to using Airbnb properties instead of hotels and other traditional travel accommodation mainly due to cheaper prices, but also for the location, and to gain an authentic experience. However, the site is facing ongoing legal problems, with some destinations moving to ban or restrict rentals from the site because they worsen housing problems and undermining hotel regulations. Many European cities, including Amsterdam and Paris, have placed limits on the length of rentals, and others such as Barcelona have introduced strict regulations for hosts. The rise of Airbnb Airbnb is one of the most successful companies in the global sharing economy. The company was founded in San Francisco, California in 2008, after being conceived by two entrepreneurs looking for a way to offset their high rental costs. Airbnb was developed as an online platform for hosts to rent out their properties on a short-term basis. It now competes with other online travel booking websites, including Booking.com and Expedia.

Inside Airbnb is an independent, non-commercial set of tools and data that allows you to explore how Airbnb is really being used in cities around the world.

By analyzing publicly available information about a city's Airbnb's listings, Inside Airbnb provides filters and key metrics so you can see how Airbnb is being used to compete with the residential housing market.

With Inside Airbnb, you can ask fundamental questions about Airbnb in any neighbourhood, or across the city as a whole. Questions such as:

• "How many listings are in my neighbourhood and where are they?"
• "How many houses and apartments are being rented out frequently to tourists and not to long-term residents?"
• "How much are hosts making from renting to tourists (compare that to long-term rentals)?"
• "Which hosts are running a business with multiple listings and where they?"

The tools are presented simply, and can also be used to answer more complicated questions, such as:

• "Show me all the highly available listings in Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn, New York City, which are for the 'entire home or apartment' that have a review in the last 6 months AND booked frequently AND where the host has other listings."

These questions (and the answers) get to the core of the debate for many cities around the world, with Airbnb claiming that their hosts only occasionally rent the homes in which they live.

In addition, many city or state legislation or ordinances that address residential housing, short term or vacation rentals, and zoning usually make reference to allowed use, including:

• how many nights a dwelling is rented per year
• minimum nights stay
• whether the host is present
• how many rooms are being rented in a building
• the number of occupants allowed in a rental
• whether the listing is licensed

The Inside Airbnb tool or data can be used to answer some of these questions.

The data behind the Inside Airbnb site is sourced from publicly available information from the Airbnb site.

The data has been analyzed, cleansed and aggregated where appropriate to faciliate public discussion. Read more disclaimers here.

Content

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.

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.

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.

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.
