Hal was very responsive and helpful from the moment I sent my initial e-mail requesting to reserve the guesthouse for three nights. His directions were detailed and he was there to greet us when we arrived. We enjoyed hearing his recommendations of where to eat in the neighborhood, and followed his advice to visit the Sunday crafts market in Fremont. My 11-year-old son immediately fell in love with the tiny guesthouse. He climbed the ladder and soon was up on the roof terrace waving at us. His dream is now to buy the guesthouse from Hal, but I don't think he intends to sell it! He has been telling people about the great view from the terrace and how much he enjoyed watching the sun set. The guesthouse is not spacious (it's not called Teeny Tiny for nothing), but it has everything you need and the shower is surprisingly pleasant. We both slept perfectly comfortably. Definitely a unique experience in a great neighborhood.
