Thanks to the addition of Host Passports, the “Airbnb Rooms” category now makes it easier to find a place to stay based on personal interests. The refreshed search function enables travelers to filter properties for such features as a private bathroom, dedicated workspace, or kitchen access. With mingling firmly back on the agenda, these top-rated Airbnb Rooms in the United States provide an immersion vacation experience unbeaten on comfort for all budgets.
