The Pad is not just a room to rent- it is an experience! Hal is a creative genius who has imbued this place with his imagination and spirit. It was very comfortable and the location was perfect for experiencing Fremont. The kitchenette provided exactly what we needed for making some meals. Hal generously starts you out with some great coffee and snacks. There are many delicious restaurants and cafes just steps away. It is close to Lake Union, and easy to get to Ballard and even downtown Seattle. We will definitely stay here again when visiting our family in Seattle!
