We noticed that houses with the same features in different parts of the city have different accommodation prices. This shows us that a different real estate market dominates between the districts.
-
In addition, accommodation fees increase in more economically active regions. As a reflection of the supply and demand balance, its effect on real estate and accommodation prices is directly observed in the data set.
-
When the houses in the same region are compared according to the room types, they act with a certain correlation with the fees.

Airbnb gives us an idea of how people's comfort zones and private life preferences are shaped. When we make a distribution according to the room types, it is seen that the shared room type is the least preferred. 2.32% of the room types in the data set are shared rooms.
