Five Affordable Airbnbs to Rent for Valentine’s Day

For a luxe staycation in the city during the long weekend.

Next weekend has two important holidays in store: Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day.

Separately, the two celebrations are like most holidays—over-hyped and commercialized. But together, they allow for some more down-to-earth plans. This means, of course, that instead of watching endless jewelry store and car dealership commercials, a Valentine’s Day getaway can be extended into a long weekend.

The possibility of an enjoyable Monday calls for such a getaway in the form of a city staycation. Here are five Airbnb apartments in Boston under $150 a night that are still available to rent for a three-day Valentine’s Day weekend (not including dorm rooms, of course.)
