    Location excellent. We checked in late, but the staff were very accommodating and friendly. Pretoria also had a water crisis but Frederick's Place has a borehole which meant that we were not affected at all.

    My husband and I attended a concert at Times Square which we thought would just require one night but once we discovered Fred's place we knew we had to stay at least two nights. The owner was super with communication and Angelina welcomed us so...
