Nowadays, when looking for accommodation, Airbnb is certainly one of the services that comes to mind. It works as an online marketplace that allows people to easily rent their homes, or rooms, to guests looking for a short-term rental.
Born in San Francisco, in 2007, Airbnb now has over 4 million hosts who have welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals, in about 100 thousand cities around the world [1].
This innovative business model generates a large amount of data. This attracts the interest of researchers, in particular, data scientists, seeking to understand the dynamics involved as well as possible insights that could impact communities.
