The model for analysis of Barcelona established this time has a strong explanatory ability and a good effect. Finally, it is proved that the general characteristics in the rental list, room type has a positive impact on the rental price, and various properties related to the accommodation area have a positive impact on the airbnb rental price in Barcelona. Location has a negative impact on airbnb rental prices in Barcelona. Amenities have a positive impact on airbnb rental price in Barcelona, along with facilities. The number of information content of accommodation room has a positive impact on the price. However, the number of comments has a negative impact on airbnb rental price in Barcelona, but the effect is not so great. Availability of instant booking was associated with a drop in airbnb rental price in Barcelona. The professionalism of the landlord is also linked to the rise in airbnb rental price in Barcelona. In the airbnb rental listing of Barcelona, higher customer ratings are associated with higher prices, although the competitive advantage gained from higher ratings is more important, given the advantages of higher ratings. In some cities, being a super-landlord affects rental prices, as it does in cities like Barcelona. At the same time, in the rental list, the amount of information content of the housing is very important, because the landlord who publishes more information content of the housing will charge higher rent, because the amount of information content of more housing may indicate the landlord's higher professional level. Therefore, for those landlords, it is necessary to improve the overall customer rating score and increase the landlord's professionalism to raise the price and obtain greater benefits
