TL;DR. I suspect this offering will appeal to some folks who are super scared to touch their DNS and want a one-click solution. But I'll be skipping it.

Trying to book an AirBnB for an upcoming trip, and the number of places that have no info on stairs is aggravating. It should NOT be hard to filter by whether a unit is a 3rd floor walkup vs first floor vs in an elevator building, but my only option is "step free entrance". In all of Myrtle […]
