Airbnb searches - help me with exact requirements please!

I only want to look at apartments in Italy with a terrace / balcony. Using the filter tool seems just to get me the number of bedrooms etc. I simply can't see a way of adding the terrace / balcony as a priority. Any ideas how I can do this to avoid wading through 100s of properties looking for pics of outside space or reading the full descriptions. There must be a way to refine searches surely?

Simple answer is that it's not an option. On the app you can flick through photos without opening the listing though. You could try a parallel internet search for "holiday flat with balcony or terrace" as lots of Airbnb properties are listed on other sites such as booking.com. They usually use the same property name and if it's also on booking.com you can see exactly where it is which you can't do on Airbnb.

Also, once you've plugged dates and other requirements in you'll whittle down what's available anyway.

Oh right, well that's a shame - not exactly a strange / unusual filter option in my humble opinion! Back to flicking through 100s of photos it is then, although I'll do the parallel internet search too. Thanks for prompt response.

Even with dates and whole house / apartment / number of bedrooms / centre of old town location etc as criteria, I'm still presented with 419 properties!

There is an option to add 'garden'. Try that as some hosts use 'garden' to describe any outside space.

Edited to say that I just looked and garden is only added from the host side. How stupid that you can't add that as a filter!

Thank you - I will add "garden" as suggested!
