While there are many great hotels and B&Bs in Washington, DC, to choose from, both experts and the CDC advise picking private home rentals like Airbnbs over hotels amidst the pandemic. Not only do you come into contact with fewer people, but Airbnb has also implemented strict Enhanced Clean protocols that all hosts must adhere to while renting out their properties.
Despite these enhanced safety measures, there are still risks associated with traveling for leisure right now, especially to cities. We always recommend following CDC and WHO guidelines when it comes to protecting yourself, such as double masking in public spaces, frequent hand washing, and practicing social distancing. Be sure to read up on local DC guidelines and check to see what monuments, memorials, and museums are open to the public before traveling.
