I stayed at Fred's place in November and I found Fred to be very helpful and communicative. Whilst the place is pretty much exactly as advertised, I would not necessarily recommend this place to a single traveller if there was to be no one else in the property. I did not get the impression that the area was wholly safe and secure. Fred informed me that there was security in the area but that did not allay all my concerns.
For groups bookings I think that the above would not really apply and I can imagine the space being good in that context.
