First and foremost, the most important thing to point out is just how great of a host Hal was throughout my four-day stay at his tiny clubhouse. Not only did he give me a great welcoming (wound up chatting for at least half an hour about what to see, eat, and do in the area), but he was one of the most communicative and easy-to-reach hosts I’ve ever stayed with. He was just a quick text away from anything I needed and he responded quickly. He is an awesome, very laid-back guy with a great sense of humor!
The spot itself was exactly what I needed for my short stay; I traveled alone and the tiny clubhouse was the perfect fit for someone who just wanted to get a tattoo, do some novel writing, and generally enjoy the Seattle weather before returning to LA. I couldn’t explore the loft bed or upstairs yard because of a knee injury, but I slept on the garage-door murphy bed the whole time and had no problems at all. It might seem a little off-putting to have the shower and toilet in the same small space, but I personally stopped caring after shower number one. On top of that, everything is neatly tucked into tupperware containers and out of the way of the shower head to avoid getting wet.
I would recommend this place to anyone who just wants a small, almost rustic space to themselves and loves waking up to very chatty birds. If you’re lucky, you might even get to hear Hal practicing his super chill music with his band during the stay.
Would absolutely stay at any of his spots again, 10/10. Thanks a ton, Hal!
