What I Can Share with Hosts

You'll have your own space with your own keys in a loft apartment with a full/queen size bed (I think it's somewhere in between). I work from home Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and go into the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so depending on when you'll be around, I may or may not be available. I also have go to the gym and take dance classes regularly, so while I'll be around, I may be in and out of the house. I love hanging out with guests when I'm able to, but please don't take it personally if I'm not able to - I frequently have guests so I'm not always able to go out, given my work and personal schedule. However, if I'm able to hang, it's likely we'll go to the brewery just around the corner from my place to play some UNO. :) I also have TONS of recommendations for things to do in San José so please feel free to ask me. (One of my neighbors/friends is a tour guide here who gives great tours!)
