In this paper, we study the price determinants of Airbnb rentals, for the case of New York City, by developing a new data set, which combines attributes of the property and of the related service, with other information available as open data. This data set is employed within a spatial quantile semiparametric regression model, able to handle the intrinsic heterogeneity of house prices. The results confirm that property and service attributes play a significant role in determining rental prices, while some variables exert a different impact on prices in magnitude and sign, depending on the quantile considered.

Abstract
In this paper, we study the price determinants of Airbnb rentals, for the case of New York City, by developing a new data set, which combines attributes of the property and of the related service, with other information available as open data. This data set is employed within a spatial quantile semiparametric regression model, able to handle the intrinsic heterogeneity of house prices. The results confirm that property and service attributes play a significant role in determining rental prices, while some variables exert a different impact on prices in magnitude and sign, depending on the quantile considered.
