If you're into historic old buildings and unusual places to spend the night (versus boring hotels) - this is it! I've always looked longingly at the apartments above the businesses in the historic Pioneer Square district and wished I could stay in one. Well - Darcy's place above the old Merchants Cafe allowed me to cross off that bucket list item. Conveniently located next to Occidental Park, the Underground tour, and Smith tower. Even though the apartment is small, it includes a kitchen and washer/dryer - super handy if you plan to stay awhile. Also loved that the parking structure I always use when visiting Pioneer Square is directly across the street. Yay!
If you aren't familiar with Seattle I'll say that the homeless situation has gotten worse over the years in Pioneer Square, but they are harmless and we had zero issues with them (even going out late at night to the nearby 7-11).
Side note that Darcy was easy to communicate with and a great host.
Thank you Darcy and Seattle for a great trip!
