accommodating
Willing to adjust
Accommodating describes someone willing to adjust to others' needs or wishes.
An accommodating host makes guests comfortable; an accommodating schedule bends to fit constraints.
The word suggests helpfulness and flexibility, though it can imply excessive eagerness to please: He was too accommodating to say no.
