I have heard of people taking a luxury Airbnb near where they live for a month since kids can be remote from school along with parents, and I just don't trust hosts or previous guest enough to ensure that the place is clean.

All indications at this point are that the virus spreads a lot more through the air than via surfaces. And it only stays active up to 3 days on plastic and metal surfaces, and that's in ideal conditions.

If you bring cleaning supplies and just wipe down high-contact areas like counters, doorknobs, refrigerator handle, etc. when you arrive, it doesn't really seem any more risky than something like bringing in groceries from the grocery store, which may have been touched by other people, the cashier, etc. Or to be extremely cautious, you could pay for an extra 3 days prior to arriving to make sure nobody has touched anything in that time. If you're gonna be there a full month anyway, what's another 3 days added on to the cost.
