Abstract
The primary objective of this research is to understand the relationship between the positivity of user-generated content, namely Airbnb reviews and the “attractiveness” of the neighbourhood of the listing. Focussing on London wards and their Airbnb listings, we could identify some features which consistently signal positive sentiment and used best-subset selection to identify an overall relationship. We identified the types of features most commonly associated with positive sentiment before discussing how this information be used to influence urban development. Whilst analysis of the Airbnb market has been a popular area of study lately, to the best of our knowledge this specific research question has not been considered.
