How to read the table

Price — the asking price for the stated terms
Vs median — difference from $320
No price — the place is sold out or closed

Proof of measurement

✓99 places checked
✓95 returned a price
✓Measured: 25.10.2026, 20:36
✓Source: public asking prices

Each row is one place on that night: name, type, district and asking price — exactly as measured. A place whose name we have not learned yet gets a dash, never an invented name. Source: public asking prices on hotel sites — hotels and listed rentals. Rental-only listings are not in this list.

How these numbers were made

1. Asking prices

The prices visible while searching, not the prices rooms sold for.

2. Same terms for everyone

One night, 2 adults, the same date and currency for every place.

3. No price ≠ zero

Sold-out or closed places are counted separately and never drag the median down.
