Hal's "pad" was quirky, lovely, comfortable, and thoughtful. It was an artistic cottage studio designed for comfort and ease of living. It was also at the best location in the hip Fremont that one can ask for, within walking distance to many good restaurants, bars, shops, water-front, park... Hal would also give you lots of tips on where to go in the neighborhood and the city. I have already recommended Hal's place to my friends and will come back in the future. Thank you again Hal for a lovely stay.
