This map allows the user to explore the differences between different San Diego neighborhoods. Mission Bay has the highest number of Airbnb listings as expected, since Mission Bay is very touristy, with easy access to the ocean and historical sites. There are also high concentrations of listings in the areas around Balboa Park. Personally it is very fun to check out which neighborhoods have the highest mean Airbnb prices. Some of the most expensive neighborhoods are: La Jolla, Mission Bay, Wooded Area, and Sky Line. The oceanside neighborhoods tend to be more expensive, charging more than $300 per night, while the inland ones tend to charge less than $200 per night.

This line plot shows the number of new San Diego Airbnb listings over the years. Since Airbnb was founded in 2008, the first few listings were in 2008. We can see the number of listings skyrocket over the years as Airbnb became more popular. Interestingly enough, the number of new listings took a dip in mid 2019 but continued to go up through the first few years of Covid, despite the lull in traveling.

This scatter plot allows the user to visualize trends between price per night and many other quantitative variables such as rating and number of amenities. We see some expected patterns, such as higher number of guests having an association with higher price per night, and less expensive listings tend to receive significantly more reviews.

This box plot provides some insight into the different price distributions of the most popular Airbnb property types. We can see that an entire home has a median price of around $300 per night, while a private room has a median price of around $100 per night.

This heatmap shows the relationship between rating, number of guests a listing can accommodate, and the price per night. As the number of guests increase, generally so does the price. Higher prices tend to have lower ratings, which makes sense, as higher prices can lead to higher expectations and lower satisfactions.
