Fred’s place exceeded our expectations, which already were high based on the reviews we had read and the photos of the place. The place has a charming feel to it, with many creative touches. It is roomy and quiet, which is unusual for almost any part of Manhattan. The kitchen is very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. Every room was clean. The location was terrific, with Chinatown, the Bowery, and Little Italy all just outside our door. We had an excellent tour at the Tenement Museum, which also was close by. We hope to return again!
