Staying at Elle's was amazing! The best welcome to San Jose. It was five minutes door-to-door to IBM Almaden, so very convenient. Elle was a great hostess, with useful tips for living in San Jose for a newbie like me. Her house was also really clean, which I appreciated. She's also sweet and fun, in addition to being a great cook! I feel that I have gained a great mentor and friend, in addition to having a great hostess.
