Hal is a perfect host. He makes you feel like you are part of the neighborhood and that you have always known him. Warm, gracious, and funny. He is a great communicator and pretty relaxed. He oriented us to the neighborhood well, with highlights to a variety of great places from a vintage arcade to great coffee. His Teeny, Tiny Guesthouse is just that- teeny and tiny, but brilliantly engineered to make the most of the space with a cool roll up garage door bed and stow-away table. The shower is great- hot and with wonderful water pressure! The surprise pastries and fruit were a welcome treat and useful as a midnight snack. He has some loaner bikes that help you get around. The location is excellent. You are literally a block from downtown Freemont, yet you feel very safe tucked into the neighborhood. If you are expecting 500 count sheets, a feather mattress pad, and matching turkish white towels this might not be your place. However, if you want to marvel at one man's ingenuity and feel the true vibe of funky Freemont, this is your spot. Hal is the kind of host that would make anyone and everyone feel welcome. Clean, quiet, well-located and well-priced, we now have a new place to stay when we come to Seattle.
