Accommodation in Washington can be expensive, and one money saving alternative is to stay in a Washington DC Airbnb listing. Staying in a rental also provides a lot more space than the typical hotel room, and cooking your own meals saves money too. Deciding on location may be your biggest challenge, as the city’s suburbs take in neighboring Virginia and Maryland. If you want to be within walking distance of the attractions, staying in Adams Morgan, Georgetown or Capitol Hill areas may be what you are looking for. For something quieter, consider staying in a neighborhood at the end of one of the Metro lines. You’ll pay less for your Airbnb property, have more room than you would in the city, and the safe and efficient Metro system can still get you to the Smithsonian, the White House or the National Mall in about 30 minutes.
