> Which means you'd expect alot less people to use airbnb over a hotel in New York.

This analysis doesn't make any sense given that New York was a huge part of AirBnB's overall inventory, being their biggest market worldwide for a long time.

Was NYC their biggest market?

Where can i find the data you're using?

It says it right in the article. Furthermore, the article says Paris is currently AirBnB's biggest market, which further disproves the comment I was responding to. You're not getting many 5 bedroom apartments in Paris, either.

I can confirm NYC was the starting ground and biggest market place for AirBnB. I had access to data from https://www.airdna.co/ in a former role.
