Is Antsirabe good for remote work or a work trip?
Yes, Antsirabe can work well for a work trip if you choose a listing with a proper desk, reliable Wi-Fi, and enough space to spread out.

How accessible are stays in Antsirabe for travelers with mobility needs?
Accessibility varies by building, so the listing is the place to check for elevators, step-free entry, and bathroom layout.

It is also worth asking about the route from the street to the entrance, since that can matter just as much as the room itself.
