Think of it as a poison honey pot for Instagram "influencers", to thin the herd and improve the gene pool.

Looks like there are some romantic AirBnB get-aways available near Love Canal:

Also quite a few in Chernobyl with glowing reviews:

In both cases, it's really not dangerous to merely be there for a visit. Chernobyl's other reactors continued to operate until 2000, for example.

Don't go into the reactor sarcophagus, don't eat the soil at Love Canal, and you'll be fine for a romantic weekend.

Chernobyl is not dangerous.

Also, it's a very interesting place to visit. Can recommend; been there in 2017.
