Airbnb Adds Detailed Accessibility Filters to Search Engine

Editorial information: New Mobility.  The membership publication of United Spinal Association.

Airbnb has added new filters to its search engine designed to make it easier for people with mobility issues to find accommodations that suit their needs. Instead of having one filter for “wheelchair accessible,” as was previously the case, the 21 new filters give users the options to search for places based on step-free entry, wide entry/doorways, elevators, roll-in-showers, bathroom grab bars, ramps and bed height, among others.
