Accommodation in Washington
Please note that CODART is not arranging accommodation for participants attending this CODARTfocus. After careful consideration, we found that a group booking did not offer any significant cost savings compared to individual reservations. Therefore, participants are responsible for arranging their own lodging. We suggest using websites like Booking.com or Airbnb as they offer a wide array of options to suit various preferences and budgets, also in the vicinity of the locations visited.
