All of these things are great, but the pièce de résistance of this apartment is its outdoor patio overlooking the lake. If you’re lucky to catch a clear day, watch the sunset as you enjoy a romantic dinner for two or sip a glass of wine.

In our opinion, this recently remodeled Capitol Hill home is one of the best Airbnb options in Seattle.

The interior is decorated in cool colors with original features including distressed leather armchairs, old barn doors and reclaimed wood. There’s a charming living area – a space where you can sip morning coffee and soak up the views from a comfy window seat, and later in the day, enjoy preparing food in the kitchen, and dine on the penthouse rooftop patio overlooking the Space Needle and Seattle skyline.
