There are three kinds of Airbnb: "Like a hotel room", "Home away from home", and "Here's a room". Hal will be the first one to tell you that if you're looking for "Like a hotel" you should go somewhere else. But if you want a home away from home, check out The Pad. It's funky (in the 60's sense, not the "smells" sense), which is just what we're looking for in an Airbnb. You've got privacy and relative quiet, but you're right in the middle of a living neighborhood within walking distance to a fun city district and with easy access to downtown, Ballard, and anywhere else you might want to visit in Seattle while remaining car-free. Hal is quick to respond to any questions and tries hard to anticipate ones you don't know you have. And if you're lucky, you can hear his band play.
