My company got accepted into Ycombinator during the Winter 2020 batch which required us to move to Mountain View for 3 months.
I stayed at Margarett's place with 2 other coworkers and my dog for 3 months. During these 3 months, we were primarily at the house working very long hours while participating in YC. It was the perfect space to get our business off the ground (which we did). :-).
I could not have asked for a better host. Margarett was super accommodating and insisted on helping us in whatever way she could. She is very startup-friendly and did not mind the heavy use of her house that came with our new company.
Some highlights of the house are:
- Walk to Castro street in 5 minutes.
- The backyard is really nice. We had a fire a couple times. It was perfect.
- The kitchen is newly remodeled and great for cooking.
- Nice comfortable living room to relax in.
- Awesome neighbors. Super friendly.
We ended up checking out a little earlier than expected due to COVID-19 and Margarett was very helpful with that because we had to get up and leave very quickly.
I plan to stay in contact with Margarett because she was really great and I will definitely stay there again. I can't thank her enough for letting me get my company off the ground in her house.
