Fred's place is an easy walk away from San Pedro Square with its great bars and restaurant options. I also found a little community Tabard Theatre on San Pedro Street; I highly recommend you see one of their shows during your stay.
Target is nearby if you want to take a scooter out for groceries. The kitchen had plenty of room for my groceries in the fridge and pantry. There's a Keurig with tea and coffee options.
Guadalupe River Trail is close if you want to take a bike ride or jog through the city. The place is especially convenient for anyone flying in or out of SJC.
The upstairs bedroom (where I stayed) has its own bathroom. There was plenty of room for my clothes and belongings in there.
Internet connection was good.
