Show HN: Find the best area to stay. My weekend project.

This is one of my weekend projects. I was going to wait until things were a little more polished, but decided just to throw it out there anyway. Any comments and feedback are welcome.

It&#x27;d be cool to know a general idea of how the best area is determined.<p>Interestingly enough, as a Houston native, it&#x27;s spot on with picking the Montrose area. My family is actually moving out of the suburbs and back into this section specifically!<p>So, again, it would be a tad more useful if it showed why it was a ranked the best, contributing factors (e.g. &quot;Nightlife&quot;, &quot;walkability&quot;, etc.), and runner-up locations.

Chicago native here, born and raised. Living in the lower part of the loop &#x2F; printers row.<p>None of the below is intended as negative, but is meant to spark a conversation about the &quot;best area to stay&quot;. Or how this is classified as such.<p>What was the rationale behind picking River North as the &quot;best area to stay&quot; in the city of Chicago? While River North may cater to the needs of many travelers, in many cases it may not. For those not interested in the scene of overpriced Red Bull + Vodkas, crowds of WASPS and pretentious clubs River North is quite uncomfortable. You can easily get the experience of Chicago by staying in the Congress Plaza (example) in the south loop of Chicago by paying much less.<p>All of that being said, you can get anywhere in the city with the L, so where you stay can matter or not.<p>Is the best area to stay based on metrics, or personal experiences from staying in these cities?<p>This is a neat project, I&#x27;m curious to see what people think.

Small bug: if I type Tokyo, it autocorrects to &quot;Shinjuku, Tokyo&quot; which is itself a neighborhood in Tokyo. I would&#x27;ve expected Shinjuku to be one of the suggestions if I search &quot;tokyo&quot;.<p>Also, I created a suggestion for Houston and under &quot;Top Accommodations&quot;, the listings are all restaurants and massage parlors.

The best place to stay in Denver, CO is Downtown&#x2F;17th Street Mall. It&#x27;s actually the &quot;16th Street Mall&quot;, although I do agree it is the best area.<p>I suggest adding (a) a brief explanation of why it is the best place to stay, and (b) more than one place. Denver (for example) is varied; depending on what you&#x27;re looking for, you may also want to stay in LoDo, or Cherry Creek.

I like the clean design and map view. I don&#x27;t understand how you are determining the &quot;best&quot; places to stay. Is this just a list of hotels, or is some super secret algorithm coming up with this list based on a few important real-time factors? Either way, I&#x27;d make this clear in your copywriting, so I&#x27;m clear on the value I&#x27;m getting as I use your app.

The look and feel is cool and so is the map view but I think you should add more information about why those areas are so great besides just restaurants and hotels. Like a main attractions section since people don&#x27;t just choose areas based on where they can eat and sleep

Apparently the best place to stay in London is in the River Thames (<a href="http://www.staybl.com/areas/17" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.staybl.com&#x2F;areas&#x2F;17</a>). Who knew? :-)
