We came to Fremont for a week to visit family and work remotely and The Pad was perfect! If you want a cookie cutter hotel room or a mystery Airbnb host who's in another country this is not for you. We enjoyed meeting Hal, and enjoyed his recommendations, and thought this stay perfectly reflected the quirkiness of Fremont. Also, the wifi, hot water, heat, tea and snack selection, and reading materials were all great. Thanks, Hal!
