I had a really great stay at Drew's place. Drew was an excellent host, and the free food was an amazing perk that cannot be overstated - if you stay over a month you are saving thousands of dollars on food expenses - he keeps the fridge stocked up with everything from frozen meats to yogurt and has all the snacks, fruit, canned goods, and instant meals you could hope for. The location is a bit far from the city but is close to a lovely Japanese plaza with great food. The house was very clean and bright. The only concern I had was that oftentimes sleeping in a room of 4 people there would be lots of snoring going on - fortunately the garage couch is super comfortable! Overall, Drew's apartment was very homely and well worth the price - would definitely visit again next time I come to San Jose.
