Fred and his place were great. You feel like you're in a genuine small arts colony or work place. 5-star funky and cool, with 4-star comfort. Fred is very friendly, helpful and accommodating. And we enjoyed talking with him. If you're a little spoiled and can't take a bit of rustic charm, over opulent charm, this place may challenge you. But my adult son and myself really dug it's 'authentic' charm. We would definitely stay here again.
