What I've learned about "Unique Stays" from my STR research?
As a programmer and investor, I developed an app to compare ADR and Occupancy Rates for different property types on Airbnb. After researching Estes Park, Colorado, I found valuable insights to guide investment decisions:
1. The highest ADR among all the property types is for the "Design" class, with rates ranging from 1036 to 1235 for 1 to 3 rooms respectively. However, for 4 rooms, the ADR drops to 1198.
2. The property types with the highest occupancy rates are "Fun" and "Ranches," both consistently having rates above 40%.
3. "Cabins" have the lowest occupancy rate among all the property types, ranging from 26% to 28%.
4. "Amazing views" have a relatively low occupancy rate compared to the "Fun" and "Ranches" groups but still have a consistently high ADR.
5. "Design" properties have a significantly higher occupancy rate for 4 rooms compared to 1 to 3 rooms, suggesting that larger properties in this class are more popular.
6. "Country houses" have the lowest ADR among all property types, ranging from 271 to 363 for 1 to 3 rooms respectively.
Overall, it seems that "Design" properties have the highest ADR but lower occupancy rates, while "Ranches" and "Fun" properties have lower ADR but higher occupancy rates

I have seen you post this kind of thing a few times over the last few months and I am assuming you are going to try to launch a product or service. It seems you have some sort of data scraping tool and are just kind of throwing a bunch of info out there, but I am not seeing the utility of this to an investor.
I think you could potentially have some good raw data but maybe synthesizing it into an investment strategy would be a more useful application of your info.
