The Pad was the perfect spot for us- unbelievably close to shops, restaurants, attractions, and public transportation while maintaining a sense of quiet and privacy. Hal was there to welcome us, and gave us phenomenal suggestions on places to visit and dine. His welcome basket of local goodies was a treat, and his eclectic Pad immediately felt like a home away from home. If ever in Seattle again, we would try to plan our trip around The Pad's availability.
