Fred's place is in an excellent location and is small, clean and comfortable. The area is "happening" so don't expect quiet, we were not fussed about the noise, it was fine. The main issues are related to the building itself. It is grimy, smelly and has roaches. We were disappointed that the entire building is not better cared for yet that is not the fault of Fred. The kitchen is tiny so if you are planning to stay for a week or more, that might be difficult if you want to cook for yourself. All in all, it is adequate for a short stay yet be prepared as the building needs some maintenance and a thorough cleaning.
