If you are looking for a clean, well-lighted place with old-world charm in the heart of downtown Seattle, this is the place for you. Darcy is a responsive, welcoming, and helpful host. Her place is laid out in the old style: gracious, with plenty of room to inhabit for a few days; very different from the common modern hotel room. The ceilings are high, the bricks are real, and the door and window trim is substantial. I stayed three nights, sleeping peacefully in a very comfortable bed, with two large openable windows which, when I woke at night, softly suffused the room with lights from the city, and during the day I could open wide to listen to and watch people from around the world pass by. My room was on the third floor, with a private keyless entry off the street, leading to a wonderful old staircase. My room was located directly across the street from Pioneer Square. I could go on, but you get the idea: a wonderful, historic place, perfect for the modern traveler.
