My boyfriend and I stayed at Jacob's place for five nights. We were out and about most of the time and never ended up actually crossing paths with Jacob himself (although he did text us some music recommendations, which we appreciated), but the place worked out perfectly for us. It was exactly what we were looking for - an affordable home base in a good location to explore the city from. The place was clean and the bed was comfortable. As other reviewers have noted, the neighborhood isn't the greatest, but we never felt unsafe. Definitely recommend.
