Cleveland, Ohio, is undergoing a renaissance. Once an industrial powerhouse, the city has transformed itself and is no long only drawing sports fans. With its cool neighborhoods, excellent museums, and burgeoning food scene, Cleveland offers something for everyone. Whether you’re a history buff, into rock and roll, a foodie, an art lover, or you’re looking for a destination for a reunion or bachelorette, you’re sure to find your niche here. It’s also one of the best cities in the US to explore on foot, so don’t get too hung up on what area to base yourself. That said, if you want to be in the heart of the action, Downtown is the best choice. For a more laid-back experience, Ohio City or Tremont are great options. Here we have gathered some of the best Airbnbs in Cleveland for those looking for a one bedroom studio or apartment, and large options more suitable for families and groups.

The best Airbnbs in Cleveland for solo travelers and couples
Urban cottage in the heart of Tremont
Situated just north of Tremont, you can’t beat this location if you want to be able to walk to everything. And by everything, I mean cafes, fine dining, tasting rooms, live music venues, boutiques, art galleries, libraries, metro park trails, a rock climbing gym — you name it. The rental is located behind a local coffee shop and is a small cottage sized property with an urban vibe (think exposed brick walls and splashes of modern art.) It comes with off street parking, which is a huge bonus if you’re driving in and the outdoor space is fenced in. The one bedroom has a memory foam mattress and the bathroom is modern with a block steam shower and heated towel rails.

The brand new apartment is located in The Stepp House, a landmark building in the Superior Arts Historical District of greater downtown. It’s a find for those coming into town to see a game as it’s just over a mile to Browns Stadium and the Progressive Field.

Centrally-located suite in Lakewood
I’ve also included a couple of options in Lakewood, just in case you’re on a road trip and would prefer to be outside the busy city center of Cleveland. Similar to Cleveland, Lakewood is very walkable. It’s a great place to base yourself in summer, with Edgewater Park and the beach nearby. Cleveland is a little under six miles away, so you can nip in and out and return to your cozy Airbnb at the end of the day. This super stylish centrally-located suite is of hotel standard.

Top-5 percent Airbnb in Tremont
This two-bedroom home is surrounded by trees in the middle of Tremont. The host suggests getting your sneakers on because this neighborhood is changing fast. Gentrification has pushed some local businesses to the side streets, so getting off the main drag and exploring on foot is worth it. It’s also a good option if you don’t have a vehicle during your stay in Cleveland, as it’s very well connected to public transportation links. It’s a top-five percent listing. Past guests love the tasteful decor and helpful hosts Joy and Chris, who can help you out with recommendations on where to eat and what to do during your stay.

1920s 3-bedroom castle in Old Brooklyn
Ok, this one is a bit of a wild card, but I couldn’t resist. This castle — yes, you read that right — is located in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood, one of the most convenient spots for getting around all of great Cleveland. Downtown is a but ten minutes away by car, as are the trendy neighborhoods of Tremont and Ohio City. The 1920s castle has been beautifully restored with all the modern comforts and sleeps up to 11 — although, in true Airbnb fashion, there are only three bedrooms. If you’re looking for a place to remember, this is one to bookmark.

Award-winning townhome in Tremont with a stunning rooftop patio
Another top-five percent listing is this property named Tremont Black, which is perfectly positioned in Tremont. The award-winning townhome is the perfect base for exploring the city.
