Sam ... just left you a vm message, I think I can help you out. I have a couch AND an air mattress and I'm just a block away from the MUNI.
I owe ya from your great hospitality back during the Wamily days, anyway. Give me a call. ~Nate

#22We're interviewing too, I'm located in San Jose (close to the San Jose airport, if you're flying in there). I have three extra couches and even more floor space... would be pleased to put you up (or anyone else coming in for the weekend)! alex@polvi.net

#23I thought that was a crazy weird post... Then I realized it was from somebody I know! I hung out with Sam at Startup School 2007, and he did not rape me. And his college friends were cool and regular posters here, so I assume the same again. If I was in California, I would let Sam stay over, why not you? Thanks. We even stopped by Adam Smith's place, where Drew Houston was also... and look where they are now with Xob…

I'll second this post in that Sam (and his friend) are really great guys (and yes, they won't rape you). If I had a couch, or a place for that matter, I'd let you guys crash. Maybe we can just get coffee instead :)

#25Thanks for everyone that sent me an email or posted here. I'm replying to the emails & making arrangements with my 'partner' (we're strictly professional, of course).
Also thanks for the YCers who vouched for us and/or promised we wouldn't rape you. That was pleasantly unexpected.
Anyone else who's looking for a place to stay should post as well, btw. I don't want us to be the only ones to benefit from this thread.

Actually, Sam and Vlad both stayed at my apartment that year for Startup School. Neither of them tried to rape me either.
Try www.AirBedandBreakfast.com. I am one of the co-founders, and we are offering a 50% for all YC applicants. My listing is the first one listed in SF, and its a great place to practice your pitch.

#29I just wanted to add that I've never been raped by these two startup founders either.

The only problem your startup will face is that the couchsurfing types don't want to actually pay anything. Otherwise, this is a neat idea for a startup.
