The short-term rental barometer
Comparable, sourced indicators on short-term rentals in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Dublin and London — computed the same way for every city, with a public method and figures ready to cite.
Key figure per city
Median asking price per night for an active entire home, in local currency, on the snapshot date.
Among the four euro cities, the median asking price per night ranges from €139 in Antwerp to €250 in Dublin; London's median is £220. Estimated nights booked, which carry no currency, run from 64 a year in London to 138 in Brussels.
How to read this page: every figure is a median over active entire homes — listings for a whole home with at least one review in the last twelve months. Prices are asking prices in local currency; nights and revenue are Inside Airbnb estimates. London is in pounds and is never converted.
