Though I didn't see Jacob or his family very often, they seemed very nice and helpful when I did. Their converted garage apartment was exactly as described. Convenient, cozy, and cost-effective. Parking was never an issue and it's a short walk to Magazine for some food/shopping and an easy walk to the streetcar to go downtown. I was weary about leaving the air conditioning off all day in the summer while I was out (as he requested to save energy) but the downstairs stayed pretty cool most of the time and the upstairs cooled off quickly. Overall, an excellent first-time Airbnb experience.
