Airbnb is blocking and canceling reservations in the D.C. area for Inauguration Day, but supporters and protesters looking for a crash pad have a plan B … they’re flocking to Craigslist.
The online classifieds site is fast becoming the place to go for those looking to sleep somewhere other than a hotel for the Inauguration … with accommodations ranging from apartments to homes, to vacation properties.
TMZ did some digging and here’s what the inauguration rental landscape looks like on Craigslist:
One-bedroom apartments a little over a mile from the Capitol are running $250 per night, but there’s a catch … ya gotta book a minimum of 3 nights. That gets ya a fully furnished pad with a full kitchen that could come in handy due to COVID restrictions at restaurants.
A little further out from the Capitol — 2.2 miles or a 15-minute drive — 600-square-foot apartments loaded with amenities are running around $90 a night for 2 people.
One reason for low prices — low demand, or at least that’s what the Biden administration is hoping. They’re encouraging people to take in the Inauguration from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Remember, the National Mall, where inauguration crowds typically gather, is now closed to the public due to heightened security.
For those who persist, and are traveling in big groups, nearby Arlington, VA has larger accommodations … for instance, you can get 3 days in a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home for a total of $1,650. Again, that’s a deep discount from the usual price of $4,500. There are also 5-bedroom options in Arlington.
Even folks heeding the suggestion to stay outta D.C. are turning to Craigslist … hoping to sublet places they’d rented and paid for before they decided to stay home.
