First of all, Hal is a truly kind human being. He was helpful with everything from checking a touch early and storing our bags after check out but before our flight home, to chatting about the neighborhood and life in general.
The Pad is a cute little studio in his backyard. It feel nestled in the trees with snippets of views beyond. It was quiet and private feeling. One thing to note is the bathroom has a shower as part of the main space, which necessitates wiping everything down post-shower (and no way someone can use the WC while another is showering).
Overall it was a great experience.
