Is Your Short-Term Rental Truly Welcoming to All Guests?

In this must-listen episode, we sit down with Mrs. Schneider, an expert who understands the real challenges travelers with disabilities face. They uncover practical, budget-friendly ways to make your rental more accessible—like installing lever door handles, modifying bathrooms, and making small yet impactful changes.

With nearly 70 million Americans living with disabilities, creating an inclusive space isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s a smart business move that sets you apart in a growing market.

Whether you own one property or multiple rentals, you’ll walk away with actionable tips that can expand your guest pool and make a real difference.

Tune in now and start making your rental truly welcoming for everyone!

Things we discussed in this episode:

  • Accessibility filters on Airbnb that allow hosts to highlight property features for guests with mobility challenges
  • Practical modifications like using lever handles instead of knobs, which are similarly priced but much easier for people with limited hand mobility
  • Bathroom accessibility improvements, including grab bars that double as towel racks, raised toilets, and shower benches
  • The growing market of travelers with disabilities - currently 70 million Americans and projected to increase to 82 million in the next 20 years
  • Legal considerations for hosts when claiming a property is "handicap friendly" or accessible
  • Mrs. Schneider's innovative movable wheelchair tray designed to help people with disabilities eat and move more independently
  • The importance of honest communication about a property's accessibility features and limitations
  • Ramp and doorway width considerations for wheelchair accessibility
  • Lighting and visibility improvements for guests with vision challenges, especially older travelers
  • The broader impact of creating inclusive spaces that allow people with disabilities to travel and enjoy experiences with their families
