Best Airbnbs in Seattle
This beautiful Airbnb Plus in the Belltown district of Seattle features one bedroom and a sofa couch, so it’d be perfect for 2 – 4 people. You’ll be within walking distance of Pike Place Market, the Olympic Sculpture Park, and countless other top Seattle attractions. This apartment building has a ton of fabulous amenities that you can take advantage of, including free parking, a very nice gym, and an outdoor sky lounge.
The rooftop terrace has iconic views of the Space Needle and Seattle skyline, and you can barbeque up there, or just hang out by the fire pit with a warm drink.
Guests have said that since this apartment is so centrally located in downtown, it can be a little noisy at night, so be sure to bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.

This contemporary apartment is located in the Northwest area of Seattle near Capitol Hill, which is a super vibrant neighborhood.

Guests rave about the comfy bed and pillows, as well as the stellar location. At $75 per night, it’s hard to find travel deals better than this.
The most epic part about this rental is its stunning rooftop view of Seattle’s skyline and the Space Needle. Have your morning coffee on the roof deck while soaking up the views, or enjoy a glass of wine up there to unwind after a day of sightseeing.
Do note that there is no air conditioning in this apartment, although that is rarely an issue in Seattle unless you’re traveling July/August and there happens to be a heatwave.

This serene apartment is located on the east side of Lake Union, just between the University and Downtown. You’ll be just a block away from Lake Union, where you’ll find seaplanes, kayaks, paddleboards, and floating homes. There are plenty of local restaurants within walking distance, and you’re only a couple of miles from downtown from here, so you can easily grab an Uber, take the bus, or walk along the lake to get there. It’s the perfect combo of peace and quiet while still being centrally located.
The beautiful outdoor terrace presents you with amazing views, and you can sit outside and enjoy breakfast in the mornings while watching the seaplanes take off. Or have a sunset drink as the boats roll back in in the evening. If you’re in need of parking, the hosts can give you a guest permit for free street parking 1 – 2 blocks away.
