There’s a decent selection of Airbnbs in Liverpool. Not as many holiday rentals as nearby Manchester or UK capital London, but there’s still plenty to get excited about. Private rooms in apartments and entire flats or lofts are quite common here. With a Liverpool city centre apartment, you can expect amenities like kitchens and balconies – particularly useful if you’re within walking distance of the famous Albert Dock.  

In the city centre, many of the properties you’ll find are run by businesses rather than being private homes. However, you still shouldn’t have too much trouble getting recommendations on what to do and see during your stay in the city. 

Liverpool is also a pretty compact city so if you’re in a central location you should be within easy walking distance of Lime Street Station and most of the sights. However, finding free parking can be a bit of a challenge given that space is at a premium.

Private room in Apartment/House

While it’s not a unique type of accommodation, it’s a very useful one – especially for budget travellers. backpacking in the UK can be very expensive. If you don’t want the noise and lack of privacy of a hostel, it can feel as if your options are severely limited. 

A private room in the house or flat of a local is an excellent way around this. Homestays mean you can save your pennies (put them towards a pint at the famous Cavern Club) and get great travel tips from locals too whilst still having your own private space. 

In most, you’ll get the use of a kitchen and a living area, but not always. Be sure to check whether your private room is part of someone’s home or a hotel/hostel.

Entire Flat

If you don’t mind splashing the cash or are travelling as part of a larger group, an entire flat may be more suitable for your trip to Liverpool. While a Liverpool city centre apartment may seem expensive at first glance, they’re often cheaper than a hotel room – and there’s more on offer, too. There are a few flats where you won’t get a fully-equipped kitchen (or at least a kitchenette). Huge apartments aren’t common, expect to find a one or two-bedroom apartment with sofa beds for more guests.

Expectations will differ according to price and location. If you’re staying at the Albert Dock, you’ll pay more, but you’ll get a great view and possibly have your own balcony. Closer to the city centre, you’ll have an excellent location with heaps of sights and amenities within walking distance. Further away from the city centre, you might even stay in a traditional terraced house or family home. 

Boat

Unique accommodation is what pulls many people towards Airbnb holiday rentals. It doesn’t get much more unique than staying on a boat! Unsurprisingly, you’ll find this type of accommodation at the Dock. It’s just a hop, skip, and a jump to the city centre from there, so don’t feel like you’re missing out on location. There’s a whole load of restaurants and things to do there, too!

Boats are up there with the most expensive types of accommodation in Liverpool, but how often can you say that you’ve had a Titanic-themed boat to yourself or woken up on a houseboat?! These options have to be the most exciting and unique holiday rentals in Liverpool.

If you’re still thinking a hostel or a hotel is a better shout, let us give you five reasons why you should definitely stay in Airbnb holiday rentals in Liverpool!

• Local Experience: While many Liverpool Airbnbs are managed by companies, they’re still locally based. Get the best recommendations for your Liverpool itinerary that you won’t find in the guide books to make your trip truly special!
• Unique properties: Airbnb has every kind of property you could think of. There’s even a ‘unique stays’ search function, where you can find your dream property on the site.
• Privacy: Another great filter – choose an entire place to ensure you won’t be disturbed during your trip.  
• Affordability: You can spend less than £100 a night on an Airbnb and get all the facilities you’d expect in a five-star hotel and more. Airbnb makes it easier to spend your holiday money wisely!
• Airbnb Experiences: It’s not all about where to stay; looking for things to do in Liverpool? There’s no better way to do that than with Airbnb Experiences. We’ll show you some of our favourites.
