Fred's place is in a very nice, older area of Washington. We felt safe, it is close to grocery stores, and a metro station. The house was super clean, had many amenities, and it is a welcoming space in general. Most importantly, Fred is a gracious host, he was attentive of us at our arrival, clear with instructions, and understanding of our needs. Unfortunately there was an emergency, and had to leave before our planed check out date. Would definitely stay at Fred's again.
