My partner and I had a blissful stay at the Pad. Hal is an eager and friendly host who supplies myriad snacks and drinks, a selection of vinyl records, and a thorough check-in spiel on recommendations for the neighborhood. The Pad is quirky and comfortable with beautiful surroundings, and the location is fantastic.
One thing I'll mention for potential guests is I might not recommend the Pad for folks who are very shy about their privacy.
- The bathroom situation is.. intimate :) The shower and toilet are only walled off from the main room with frosted glass and a sliding shower door. This might be uncomfortable for people/couples who are shy about bathroom time.
- The Pad is nestled in among many other residential units. It has several windows you can open to stay cool but you may feel a little "on display" for the neighbors when doing so at night.
Neither of these was an issue for us, just wanted to mention since it might not be obvious from the listing details. I wish our stay had been longer, and we would definitely stay here again in the future!
