Fred is an intelligent, well read artist. He is genuinely nice.
As a host his artistic personality may be a determent. His home is less prepared for guess than travelers would expect. This is reflected by a lack of preparation
which includes cluttered dusty surfaces people need in order to eat, prepare simple food, place their belongings and toiletries. Lamps without light bulbs.
The house is in an isolated area not far from Deep Ellum but the area in-between seems dangerous and the house does not appear to have neighbors or be in a neighborhood.
The shower worked well, much better than the toilet. Fred fixed the toilet but it took several days as he was out of town. Rainy days presented some leaking.
If you are young and staying for a night or two you'll probably do fine.
