Capitol Hill is the Seattle’s most unique neighborhood. The area has long been the center of the city’s counterculture movement, but it also boasts stately historic homes reminiscent of traditional times. Today, it is the hippest neighborhood of the city, home to trendy eateries and independent boutiques. You can have a night out at a raucous nightclub or sip cocktails at a quiet cafe; dine on street food or a prix fixe menu at an upscale restaurant. This is a neighborhood meant to explore on foot, which is why you should pick an accommodation right in the heart of it. Luckily, there are tons of great places to stay. Here’s a rundown of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Capitol Hill, Seattle.

7. Light-filled studio in a prime location (from USD 623)
With its tall ceilings and huge windows, you could spend your whole vacation in this Airbnb just looking out on the lovely streets of Capitol Hill. The studio apartment feels spacious, with a divider between the two-person bedroom and the kitchen and living area. There is also access to a roof deck, where you can see the Space Needle and even the water. Though this space is cozy enough to relax in all day, you’d be remiss to not explore the variety of the immediate neighborhood or go on a short car ride to Pike Place Market.

8. Sunny studio with tons of great reviews
This studio rental has an almost perfect score despite the fact that it has well over 200 reviews! Previous guests rave about the rental’s cleanliness, great location, and helpful host. The studio is perfectly sized for two guests and has an open-concept design, with bedroom, living room, and kitchen in a shared area. However, it never feels crowded and that might be because of the huge window that takes up one whole side of the apartment and lets in lots of light even on rainy days.

10. Charming Capitol Hill loft with a chef's kitchen
Most of the studios on this list have been just large enough to accommodate two guests. However, this loft has enough space for four, and enough room that it won’t feel crowded. The apartment is spread over two levels, with a private sleeping loft and a convertible sofa on the main level. Also, downstairs is a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Be sure to bookmark a night to cook a meal with groceries purchased at the Capitol Hill farmer’s market. The apartment has rooftop access and a private French balcony, where you can people-watch.

Stay in the epicenter of Seattle
Capitol Hill is an attraction of Seattle in itself. By staying in the neighborhood, you’ll be in the thick of some of the city’s best restaurants, bars, and shopping. However, Capitol Hill is also a great location for exploring downtown Seattle and the city’s other neighborhoods. It has lots of public transit options and you can reach Pike Place Market or the Space Needle in minutes. One of the other great aspects about staying in Capitol Hill is that it has tons of great Airbnbs to stay in - just choose one from our list and start planning your visit.
