Hal is a gem of a host and man, and this was by far one of my best airbnb experiences, and I've had mostly positive thus far. The pad was a beautiful study in design aesthetic, efficiency of space, and plain old convenience. Upon arrival, Hal's thorough neighborhood explanations and prompt communication during the stay made it all feel that much more personable. Fremont is a lovely corner of Seattle to use as a home base, and rail/bus/uber were all accessible from here. Hal has a gift for hosting, design, and being a nice person.
