Using CARTO - Exercise 2

Steps

Finding the data

From the Add New Layer modal, I searched for the Madrid subway stations dataset in my account since I already knew I had it.

  • Realized that the “by name, description, or tag” copy has a poor legibility

Airbnb

Finding the data

I found the data easily. I googled “airbnb data” and the second result was Inside Airbnb with all the data. I doubted a bit between the listings and the reviews CSV files so I downloaded both to check the data. I finally went with listings.csv.

Uploading data to Builder

  • First, I renamed listings.csv to airbnb_listings_madrid_2018.csv so I would know in the future what that dataset was about.
  • The dataset uploaded quite fast and it got automatically geocoded which is great. I thought I would had to perform a geocode analysis.
