We've been approached by a journalist who'd like to speak to disabled people who have booked an accessible room/house etc via Airbnb but when they arrived, it was anything but. The article they're developing is inspired by this piece by Wired and would like to hear from people who have experienced similar.

If you'd like to share your experience, please email laura.burnip@scope.org.uk

    Hi, I help run a fab group on facebook, called Limited Mobility & Wheelchair Accessible Holiday Accommodation. If anyone wants take a look, please do and we are accepting new members all the time.
    As a full time wheelchair user, I know difficult it can be to get the RIGHT accommodation. I need a hoist (refer ceiling ones to portable), profiling bed, shower/commode chair and wet room. I`ll take a look at the link xx
