I had a good experience. The location is fantastic, in easy walking distance to lots of great restaurants and Caltrain. Vic is a great host, caring and interested. The place was a bit messy when I arrived but got a bit cleaner as the week went on; this didn't surprise me because it's what I would expect from a bunch of absent-minded hackers living together.

The host also organized weekly dinners where I got to meet hackers in his other houses and made new friendships which I think will be lasting relationships.
