Welcome to Our Adapted Category: Your Gateway to Barrier-Free Travel

At Airbnb, we’re proud to introduce our Adapted Category, a specially curated collection of homes with verified accessibility features. Emphasizing our ongoing commitment, we’ve now added 21 new accessibility filters on our platform, ensuring that each home offers step-free access and amenities tailored for your comfort and ease. With detailed 3D scans, we provide transparent information about each home’s accessible features, like doorway widths, ensuring a worry-free stay for every traveler.
