I stayed in Margaret's garden cottage for a month while visiting Stanford and it was magical -- I was very sad to leave! Margaret is extremely kind, funny, and generous (and eco-friendly, which I loved!). The cottage itself was warm and inviting with great natural light, provided ample storage, and included lots of sweet touches (e.g., coffee, tea, and wine). It was also a very peaceful place to think and work. Furthermore, the location was perfect: only one block off campus and a few short blocks from California Avenue. I really enjoyed walking to and from campus each day, but Margaret also made one of her bikes available to me. (She even gave me a ride one day when I was running late!) I cannot recommend Margaret or her cottage highly enough and hope to stay there again in the future!
