I spent 40 nights at The Pad in late 2014, and it felt like home from the moment I arrived. Hal has created an fantastic space that makes you feel like you belong. He was an incredibly friendly and helpful host, offering tips on places to see and do, allowing me to use his bikes to get around town, and making sure I had an awesome time.

The location of the pad is also excellent, right in the heart of the Fremont neighborhood, just a 3-4 minute walk to great restaurants, cafes, bars, Lake Union, etc. I would regularly bike to Ballard for the Sunday Farmer's Market, or to Wallingford for dinner. Parking was a breeze, too - I could park for days on end on the street nearby.

I can't recommend The Pad highly enough - it truly is one of the very best places I've ever stayed on Airbnb!
