Location is everything. It’s close enough to Pike’s Market without the overwhelming feeling of tourism. Also located it close to the piers and a few blocks away from the Seattle Art Museum (SAM). The history behind Merchants is really cool and the cafe downstairs is charming. Darcy was very sweet and she let me leave my stuff on check out day before my flight so I can enjoy the city a bit more. Because of the historical aspect be prepared for tours coming by and people taking photos or hearing tour guides (second floor apartment - you can hear some of the noise outside) BUT it’s nothing too bad and the tours end at a reasonable time so sleep wasn’t an issue. Kitchen has the essentials if you need or want to prepare food. Overall very cool ambiance of the place and definitely would recommend for any history fanatics.
