Nice place to stay right off of magazines street, the uber ride to the French quarter depends on the time of day anywhere from 10-35... so keep that in mind. I also preferred not being right in the middle of the actions but my friends complained about how far away we were, to each their own. Didn't have the opportunity to meet Jacob but did meet his wife and she was very nice. Nice place to be if you want to enjoy the action for short period of time and than come back to a quite, chill place. Would recommend getting some curtains or something over the garage windows cause that sun is killer if you're sleeping downstairs... and a cheap full length mirror would be reallly nice too 😛
