Jacob's place was exactly as advertised. The room and the house were both very clean, well-kept, and cozy. Just a note that the room doesn't have windows, not a big deal but just be aware in case that is important to you. Jacob and his wife were extremely attentive — I found out later that he and his wife stayed in the house when there was a large group of other guests in the basement as I was traveling alone. That was above and beyond what I would expect a host to do, and I truly appreciated that. They also let me know when another guest was scheduled to arrive and checked in on me very often. There were water bottles in my room, clear instructions for house rules, and Jacob even brought me clean towels a couple days into my stay. The kitchen is very nice and you could definitely cook and enjoy a nice meal if you wanted to. I never felt unsafe in the immediate neighborhood, however, I was harassed once a few streets away when walking back to the house by myself at night. I did not feel threatened, but it was unpleasant. This may have been an isolated incident and was of course completely out of Jacob's control, but I wanted to include that since I know that's a consideration for many women who travel alone. Otherwise, my stay was excellent and Jacob was a great host.
