Jake seems like a nice guy, although we only saw him for maybe thirty seconds. After a day of traveling we arrived and were wiped out. We went to our room to lay down and instantly heard the clanging of a banjo from the living room. This wouldn't have been a problem, but the house (which is very nice) is hollow and noise carries. It sounded like he was playing right behind our door. He also had many friends and a roommate who were in and out throughout the night, and talk quite loudly.
We spent some time talking with Jake's roomate, who was very nice.
The worst part of this stay was the neighborhood. It is very rundown and we did not feel safe walking at night. There are a lot of dilapidated buildings, holes in the sidewalks, and sketchy people. For this being an "artistic" district... the most art was the graffiti on the ruined buildings and signs.
I'm giving Jake a passing rating because his home is nice and clean. Jake seems nice enough but is not all that accomdating or talkative.
