Our stay at The Pad reinforced more than ever how awesome airbnb is! In town from LA for a wedding and first time visit to Seattle, Hal's Pad was key to making our trip memorable. Amazing location - one block from the heart of Fremont with plenty of restaurants, bars, shops, parks and a walk along the the canal. No car is needed around here between bus, bicycle, and uber or car2go. Surrounding neighborhoods are also so cute and filled with fun activities. The Pad itself was such a cool space. Hal has done a wonderful job with the vintage design. And as it is a hillside property, the terraced buildings and decks give privacy and a rustic mountain/modern oasis vibe. We got lots of use from the outdoor patio and enjoyed the greenery and trickling fountains. And, of course, Hal's fabulous hosting brings everything together to make this a 5 star experience. Thank you, Hal, for giving my husband and I a fantastic Seattle stay. We will recommend The Pad to all we know!
