I stayed at Natalie's apartment for a conference in San Jose's convention center. Natalie has proposed her help each time it could be necessary, detailing the various ways to reach her house, making sure I was on my way without problems, waiting for me despite the airport delays, etc. Once I was home and she explained everything, Natalie left and I could work in perfect peace for the whole week.
The apartment was super cosy, perfectly prepared, like in the best hotels, so I spent a very nice time there.
The walk to the convention center was about 25 minutes. This was actually a nice morning exercise under the California sun, but it was also possible to go there by 2 bus lines. I was having my breakfast at ijava cafe, at Auzerais and Delmas ave, which I sincerely recommand too.
