10 Best Airbnbs in Edmonton To Stay At

Finally, you’ve made it to Edmonton, the best-kept secret in Canada. Boasting a wide array of world cuisines, a thriving shopping scene, and lush greenery, Edmonton is transforming into a vibrant urban center as the capital city of Alberta.

Edmonton is an off-the-grid destination that is still unshown to the masses. And therefore, finding the best places to stay can be a little limited.

Many travellers end up staying in a hotel, but what if you want to stay away from the crowds and get cuddled by utter privacy? Rest your worries because we’ve put together 10 top-rated Airbnbs in Edmonton to have you covered!

1. Beautiful Modern Minimalist Loft

Nestled on the sprawling street of Jasper Avenue, Erika’s Airbnb is a light-filled apartment with an excellent location. Its direct connection to the LRT train station allows you to hop aboard within a matter of minutes. 

The first impression comes from 6 gigantic windows that invite a great amount of sunlight to expand the room even more. It seems like you will never get bored even if you have this Airbnb for a monthly rent-out! 

Surrounded by an extensive collection of cinemas, shopping hubs, and restaurants, Erika’s home is here to please all party souls. If you’re hunting for the best Airbnb in Edmonton to keep up with the summer festivals and live concerts, this minimalist loft is a good call! This Airbnb has a minimum rent-out period of 1 night and can host 2 guests at a time. 

3. Executive Two-Storey Penthouse with Private Hot Tub

Now you’re hitting Edmonton with a dream of throwing the best party for your besties! How fun would it be! But you just realized that most Airbnbs in town fail to accommodate a large group of guests! No more fretting because the Jean family is here to help! 

The best feature of this spacious condo is the outdoor patio with a splendid view over the River Valley. This is exactly what you need for a fancy evening affair! There’s a Sirius radio available whenever you want to bring the beat to the soiree! This Airbnb is a true charmer for a big family reunion or any type of get-together with its fully-furnished setting throughout its two levels. 

Each room boasts a stunning view while granite and hardwood finish a bold look.

Make sure to spend at least 2 nights at this executive condo to visit the vibrant neighborhood and make full use of the sauna before returning home! This Airbnb is available for a minimum booking window of 1 nights with a capacity of 6 guests. 

4. Warehouse Loft With UG Parking

Warm and inviting with a dark undertone, Curtis’s one-bedroom house is a meticulous place filled with awe-inspiring items that show how much he cares for his guests.

The tasteful decor style sets the tone for a 1920s apartment. Built on the skeleton of the original brick walls are the low-ceiling fir beams looking down to the hardwood floors to bring out the cozy vibe of the house. To balance out, Curtis provides a zebra rug and black leather coaches as well as a modern kitchen with jet black finishes.

Tucked away in a corner of the staircase, you will be surprised to see a full-sized motorbike and working street lights adorning the living room.

Climb down the staircase and your bedroom should be there. Make sure to have a Netflix account at the ready as Curtis already set up a 120-inch projector screen so you can finish your favorite series.

Since the building is over 100years old in the heart of downtown Edmonton, don’t be surprised to hear your neighbors laughing or the fire trucks passing by once in a while.

5. Downtown River Valley Home

Feeling blue for leaving your furry friend and the comfort of home when you’re away on the trip? Well, Candice and Danny’s one-bedroom house is one of the most family-friendly Airbnbs you’ve ever stayed at.

First, be prepared to meet Gretchen the dog, and Catherine the cat upon your arrival. They will give the perfect therapy you need on a vacation as they’re always there to hang with you and receive some pats too.

Now speaking of the house, the stylish space is filled with retro items and wooden furniture. There is a dark pocket door that leads into the dining room and a four-piece bathroom that features a claw foot tub.

Going beyond the tasteful decor is the personal touch. You will find a basket filled with essential items if you happen to forget some personal items. A coffee machine waits in the kitchen to brew you a hot cuppa every morning and extra toiletries are fully stocked in the bathroom. Plus, they also offer a small sunny cafe where you can chill out with some good eats and drinks or browse through their locally made products for sale.

6. Unique Zen Sanctuary Loft in the Heart of Downtown

Imagine staying in a movie-like apartment and being your own star! Stephan’s Airbnb is a one-of-a-kind loft with walking distance to Corona LRT, local restaurants, and Roger’s Place. Nestled on Jasper Avenue, Stephan’s home reminds you of something out of a movie with a fabulous open concept. The house speaks for a New York style loft with exposed industrial ceiling. 

However, what gives it a distinctive character is the red wall with black trim and stale flooring. The amenities are top-notch, making it a thoughtful add-in to your vacation. We’re talking about a Jacuzzi tub, en-suite laundry, and a huge walk-in rainfall shower and jetted slate tub. Stephan’s Airbnb is available for a minimum booking window of 1 night with a capacity of 4 guests.

7. Private Bedroom in Family-Friendly Home

When Dawn rents out one of his favorite rooms of the family for other travelers alike, he has one motto to live up to: “Life is only as beautiful as you make it, so make it count.”

And that’s how we’re here, peeling off every single feature that makes Dawn’s guest room one of the most visited Airbnbs for couples and solo travelers to Edmonton.

Our favorite part about this place is how close Dawn’s family makes you feel. The host family lives right on the site but you never feel like compromising your own privacy.

Now let’s get back to see what your room has to offer!

A plush Queen bed with a laptop-friendly workspace? Check.

A rooftop patio with a marvelous backyard to bask in the sun? Check.

A full self-serve coffee bar to shake you up with a caffeine fix before starting the day? Check.

One last thing, though. We know sharing the house with the host family sometimes means a private bathroom is a luxury. Rest your worries, soaking in your own bathtub is never a fantasy here. Dawn makes sure the newly-finished bathroom is 100% yours, and he even stocks up shampoo, body wash, and bath bombs so you don’t have to bring any.

7. John Deere Warehouse Loft

Jonah’s Airbnb is an A-game with lots of Edmonton’s history built into the property. Unlike other regular Airbnbs, the house has taken up its notch with an excellent play of combining wood, marble, and stone which gives the space a necessary contemplative setting.

Expect distressed hardwood floors and exposed bricks that dominate the décor! And guess what we love most about Jonah’s home? The spacious walk-in shower with a large soak-in bathtub makes the house even more enjoyable!

8. Beautiful Loft Near 124 St and Close to Downtown

Have you ever entered a bright, chic, contemporary house that’s chock full of thoughtful amenities that make you go wow? Seble’s one-bedroom is exactly what we’re talking about!

A cozy, bright Loft is situated in Westmount where many historic buildings still stand the test of time. Seble stocks you up with more amenities than your basic need. And everything is kept in place to create neat, functional, and easy navigation.

As long as you open the curtain at the floor-to-ceiling window, sunlight starts pouring through, revealing the vibrant old trees and a peaceful environment outdoors. When booking with Seble, you receive a 20% discount for every breakfast at Tiramisu Bistro, which is a five-minute walk away from Airbnb. It has a minimum booking window of two nights and sleeps three.

9. Private Cabin by the Creek

Planning a country getaway without moving too far from the downtown of Edmonton? Emily’s secluded cabin will fit the bill! This Airbnb has no reason to envy the heavyweights in the hospitality industry because the true charmer doesn’t come from the architecture of high-value, but the undisturbed nature instead! Emily’s private cabin only takes you 20 minutes to drive to the West of Leduc and 3 minutes to the East of Thorsby.

The lovely wooden cabin sits right on the creek with a smart bedding arrangement on the inside to fit a large group of travelers. The fire pit by the woods is a game-changer, especially for a family union. The hub tub is a thoughtful add-in to the house that allows you to sit and stargaze! Emily’s cabin has a minimum booking window of 2 nights and can accommodate 2 guests per booking. 

10. French Garden Home

Luxury goes a long way at Michael and Katrina’s French garden house. The delicate, French garden-themed house is located on a quiet street of Sherwood, one of the most charming neighborhoods in Edmonton. It’s an eight-minute drive to Mayfield Common Shopping and West Edmonton Mall, North America’s largest shopping mall.

A large private deck greets you on the outside, before opening out to a huge living space with three bedrooms that sleep a large group of eight people. You have two full bathrooms to enjoy, plus an en-suite bathroom attached to the master bedroom. 

All bedrooms are supported by tall cooling towers to boost ventilation for a peaceful sleep at night and open windows to create a great cross breeze to cool down the suite fast. You only need at least one night to be able to book with the host.
