What is your budget per night? There are lots of options in DC.

That is not reasonable or even close to reasonable.

I have not idea. Look at VRBO and see what monthly rentals are going for. I would say probably $2000

Use of capital letters makes it easier for us to read your post, and in that way you will get more responses. We want to help you, but you need to help us.

If you are looking to rent an apartment for a month, look at VRBO. I will tell you, though, that a renter with a year's lease pays $1500-2000/month for a one bedroom unfurnished apartment in a safe, Metro-convenient location, so do not be surprised to see prices of $3000/month and up for the same apartment as a furnished holiday rental.

Extended Stay America also has some properties in the DC area -but even they will run $80-$90 a night so well over $2,000 a month.

Maybe tell us more - are you there for work or school? Maybe the employer or school can help you with accommodations.

Are you staying for the whole month in Washington DC for your vacation? Or are you going to other places too? Not that it doesn't happen, but a month in one city is not a typical vacation.

By any chance are you visiting relatives in Washington?

But honestly $20 a night/$600 a month won't get accommodations for a family anywhere in the US. Not even in hostels.

This is not a reasonable amount. I hope you are visiting relatives. Otherwise, I would recommend you consider 1-2 other locations to visit during your trip.

Vjpblovesitaly, please check your grammar. You should have said, "I have no idea."

If you are going to other places it may not make sense to rent an apartment for a month in DC and then have to also pay for a hotel in the other places you will be visiting. Perhaps if you are just leaving for one or two weekends. But if you are leaving for any lenght of time - or distance - it probably makes more sense to either get a hotel or just rent an apartment for the week (?) you will be in DC. (I love DC, but honestly I really think a week is enough to spend there and see major and some secondary sights).
