I spend some time at Margaret's house when I moved to the Bay Area. The room was nice, large, clean and silent and I had a comfortable stay there.
Margaret made me feel day welcome from the day I arrived and we had many interesting conversations and a nice time.
I have to mention the bath-room, because I totally love it: It has a heated floor and it is just wonderful to get up in the morning and have a shower on the warm floor.
I recommend Margaret's place to everyone who wants to come to the Bay Area.
