Staying with Drew and the rest of the Entrepreneur Island crew was certainly the highlight of my internship in California and one of the most gratifying experiences of my life. We were all part of a tight community of people from varied backgrounds; some doing summer internships, others pursuing their dreams and personal projects. I especially recommend commuting here by bike if you want to get fit, too!

Entrepreneur Island is the role model for Airbnb's mission of making you feel like a local everywhere you go, thanks to Drew and the beautiful community that has grown around this big house near San José.

If you're coming to the area for a few days to a few months, skip the hotels and the expensive short-term rentals, and add your hometown's little pin to the huge world map on the kitchen wall. Come to Entrepreneur Island to enjoy quality time with some great people, all the while eating great food from around the globe.
