• Analyze accommodation capacity based on the 'beds' and 'rooms' attributes.

Strengths

• Provides structured address components ('addr:full', 'addr:street', 'addr:city').
• Covers multiple feature categories (amenity, man_made, shop, tourism).
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML).
