For this project, I wanted to delve deep into Kaggle AirBnB datasets for Seattle and Boston. I will be focusing on answering three questions below in the jupyter notebook. The first two questions will be basic data analysis on the data while the last question will be require us to process a full Natural Language Processing pipeline.
Question 1: How are the pricing of the properties in Boston and Seattle? Do they have seasonality? Are there any events that cause jumps in price?
Question 2: How is the availability of the properties in both cities throughout the year?
Question 3: Can we predict the review score from comments using regression? Do the comments of the visitors on a listing give us enough information for us to guess the review score of that listing
The libraries we will be using will be: Python 3.6.5 Anaconda Distribution [xgboost] (https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/)

andcalendar_boston.csv
- csvs containing home_id, availability, and price for every listing/date combination -

andlistings_boston.csv
- id, review_scores_rating for each listing -
reviews.csv

- csvs containing the home_id, date of review, reviewer_id, reviewer_name, and reviewer comments for the reviewed stays.
Data used are provided through Kaggle by AirBnB : Boston data on Kaggle and for the Seattle data.
