Practical problem is how do you get hosts to provide all this extra info and trust them to be honest and accurate.

I can't even search for real estate and specify houses without getting apartments or vice versa

I would just do what I already do. Look carefully at each apartment to see if it could have a nice view. I judge it by the photos, the description, customer reviews and Google street view.

Only apartments that might have a nice view go into my list.

I wonder if anybody else is interested in that list and if it would make an interesting website.
