Seattle is a city made for activities: hiking opportunities abound, and there’s no view like the one you can get from a kayak, inner tube, or boat, with Mount Rainier in one direction and the Space Needle in the other. Even for the less outdoorsy, there’s plenty of meandering to be done—spend your days visiting top-notch restaurants, eye-catching museums (MoPOP, anyone?), and lush sculpture gardens. After all that action, you’ll want somewhere comfortable to rest your head. Below, we’ve rounded up 18 of the best Airbnbs across Seattle, from larger homes just outside the city to spots in the most central (and walkable) areas of town—South Lake Union, Capitol Hill, and Queen Anne included. Whether you’re traveling in a group, solo, with pets, or kids, there’s a vacation rental for you among the properties below.
Once you’ve got your accommodations sorted out, take a look at the city’s best things to do, top restaurants and bars, and stand-out hikes.
