Sorry if this was already a topic, just wanted to know what your opinions were.
For me my favourite city would have to be Riften or Markarth, i just love the feel of the dwemer architecture in Markarth and the fact that the thieves guild is located right under the Riften.
my favourite house would have to Hjerim, because it is so large and has a lot of space!

Favorite city is either Markarth (like you said, love the architecture) or Windhelm (atmosphere and architecture. Yeah, they're racist, but the situation its people are facing and what I already listed are interesting to me).
Favorite house. Hjerim, Windstad Manor, or the house in Raven Rock.
Hm... I like all of them. But... I have a few favorites;
Riften: The history of the city, and the intrigues in it. Besides, The Ratway is awesome (In fact, it should be bigger and people should live there, like mercenaries and outlaws. The way it is, it doesn't feel exactly as the "City under the city" - Even when the TG quest is completed).
Dawnstar: Just like it. Geographically, historically. I don't know...
Markarth: Also because of the intrigues and the architecture, as some already said.
Whiterun: It reminds me Rohan, from LotR, my favorite kingdom.
I know there's too much already, but I can't miss an oportunity... I like Solitude also. Mostly because of the Jarl's court.
Favorite House: Windstad Manor.
