Maisson Boulavier

They told you that you could find a good room cheap at the building near the corner by the wooden stairway, no, not that one. That's a brothel. This one over here. This is a much more decent place. The four-story building was built on the side of the ridge, giving different floors access to the roads to the south and east or the stairway to the west and up north. The building was a little worn-out looking, the paint was chipped where it couldn't easily be reached, shingles on the roof were a little out of place, some of the tiny windows held by the lead lattice were cracked. Nonetheless, it looked comfortable enough. You knocked on the door.
A girl with a mop answered the door. She looked about 16, with black hair in a shaggy bowl cut. She was obviously a hard worker, she was a little unkempt, sweaty and flush from the exertion. But she was CUTE. She notices your appreciation and blushes, stammering, "W-welcome to the Maisson Boulavier. May I help you? Perhaps you're looking for a room?"

The Maisson Boulavier was a modestly priced boarding house on the western hillside of Delctra's Cauldron Borough beginning around 1700. It was located between and a building away from the intersection of Rasmar Base Road and Draghorse Lane. The building was four stories tall and sat in such a way against the side of the hill that there were separate entrances on each floor, as well as an external staircase that reaches every floor. The bottom floor was the basement and was mostly underground, but it had access to the outside as well. There were four rooms for let on each of the top two floors, and a small cubbyhole available in the basement. It was located just east of Day's Nap Inn. 
Rent was 50 silver dragons per week for a standard room ($65 for the largest room), which could be split up four ways at most. There was an additional 5 dragon surcharge per week for each adult in the room. The cubbyhole in the basement was let out in return for household labor. Lodging came with a breakfast of muffins and jam, fruit juice, and porridge, and a bath every other day. If a tenant wanted dinner and supper as well, that cost an additional $15 per person per week (although a discount was typically given for young children). Lodging and meals had to be paid in advance; missing meals did not qualify for a discount.
The building was built around 1700 on the site of a building wrecked in the Galderon Restoration of 1689. It has been owned by the Boulavier family since nearly the beginning.
Ethel Boulavier inherited the boarding house in 1730, and though she had succeeded in making the interior homey and comfortable, she had difficulty maintaining the outside. Although leaks in the ceiling and basement were adequately patched, the building was starting to look a bit run-down by 1742. Ethel was assisted in keeping the house by her then 15-year old niece Eliza who was next to inherit the property.
