Wonderful sense of community. Guaranteed to make wonderful friends from all over the world. I came to stay for a few months, and deciding to stay for many more months to come.

HH is truly a magical place...what I thought would be a budget-saving, cramped home full of people going about their own separate lives turned out to be one of the warmest communities I’ve ever met, full of driven, fun, and sociable individuals. Indeed, I left HH with great memories, friends, and a new take in communal living.

I was 24 weeks pregnant when I stayed in a bunk at the hacker house in Menlo, so I was hesitant at first - but this ended up being a real highlight of my trip. I stayed for 2.5 weeks and found all the guests to be super respectful of one another, kind and interesting people to talk to. The house was kept really clean and there communal areas were great to work in.
