Stay away from residential areas near or past MLK Blvd. Baltimore st. is also pretty active cause that’s where all the strip clubs are so I’d stay away. You could also download the citizens app to help you know where most activity is happening. “The Crown” has live music (not always jazz) and has a mixed crowd of locals. Same goes for “Ottobar”. You MAY be able to find a private rental for around $800 but just do further research to make sure it’s not a scam.
