Jake was an incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful host. He gave me tips on things to do and see while I was there, and he was (luckily for me!) able to spend some time with me as well. He showed me some local places that he enjoys going to, and I personally love seeing what the locals do when I visit new cities. His home was clean and the room and amenities were exactly how he portrays it. The room was nice and bright, and that air mattress was more comfortable than some hotel beds I've slept on. The kitchen and bathroom were both spotless too, making for a comfortable stay.
I found the neighbourhood to be quiet and safe. I didn't feel uncomfortable when I arrived back late at night. Public transit was really easy to get to and it's a really convenient way to get downtown and see the attractions. I don't find the main road close by particularly pedestrian friendly as far as crosswalks go, so it's best to plan your walking in advance.
His dog is a sweet old guy that was just wonderful around me.
I would definitely recommend Jake and his home; I would 100% stay there again!
