I stay at Vic's for the quiet, warmth, privacy, spaciousness, the comfortable large bed, the full kitchen, and workspace. I come to Seattle for a work and personal retreat. I always get a lot done, and can cook what I need or eat great food at nearby restaurants. This is my second visit this winter, and the place is cozy and warm. Laundry is a bonus. Vic is always friendly and accommodating and communicative. So as a woman traveling alone, I also feel safe. In fact, I am coming back next month for almost a week!
