Madame Zaccaruso's Rooms for Rent
This grand boarding house offers accommodations at upper-crust rates for the Old City, charging four silver pieces per week—a steep price, but one that includes a hearty breakfast every morning.
The house itself is well-maintained and unusually quiet, despite the lively surroundings.
The mistress of the house, Madame Zaccaruso, is a one-eyed crone with a reputation as a witch. Whether the rumors hold truth or are merely tales spun to discourage troublemakers, none can say. What is certain is that she tolerates no nonsense—those who disturb the peace vanish without explanation. Yet, rooms are always available, and the house attracts those who value discretion.
