Drew's place is totally different from the normal hacker houses. I got to meet a lot of amazing people from different parts of the world and everyone kept the house extremely lively and friendly. If you're moving to San Jose for the first time, Drew's place is a great option as you'll end up making a lot of friends here. As for the host, Drew is a very accommodating host who respects everyone's choices. He makes sure that the house is kept clean and well maintained all the time. Also, I would definitely recommend the food plan as you get a lot of options even if you're a vegetarian/vegan. Just like me, you'll probably end up extending the stay because of the great house environment and some of the best people out there. :)
