## How can search filters help me find the best rental for my vacation?

Sometimes you just want to browse. Other times, you know exactly what you want. Search filters are a great way to narrow down your choices when you’re finding a place to stay.
If you’re flexible, you can select date ranges and types of places to help target your search.

**Start with the basics**

For the most accurate results, always begin your search by choosing your:

- Destination
- Check-in and checkout dates
- Total number of guests and pets

**Popular filters**

At the top of the search results page, you’ll find popular filters, such as:

- Type of place: From shared rooms to entire places, learn more about the types of places to stay.
- Unique listings: Choose from options like property with backyard, property with night stay etc.
- Price: Use the sliding scale to narrow down your search within your price range.
- Cancellation flexibility:  Find stays whose cancellation policies offer flexibility.
- Instant Book: Find places you can book without waiting for Host approval.

**More filters**

- Rooms and beds: Bedrooms, bathrooms, beds—choose the number that’s right for your group.
- Property type: It's your stay, so what's your vibe? Search for villas, hostels, apartments, and more.
- Amenities: Some people need a working kitchen, others want a TV, and the rest want free parking. 
- Facilities: Hot tub? Wifi? Gym? You’ve got options.
- Accessibility: Need step-free entry or grab bars in the property? Select features for comfort and safety.
