| Difference against nearby nights of its kind | Nights | Share of measured nights |

| 0% to +14% | 23 | 28% |

| Not compared | 0 | 0% |
Not compared: fewer than 3 measured nights of the same kind within 7 days, or a difference above +150%, which reads as a broken scan rather than a market. Nights priced more than 3 times above or below the window's middle are already left out of the window.

A weekend is listed only when both its Friday and its Saturday night were measured; the sum adds two medians and is not the price of any one stay.
