We came to the Bay Area for new jobs and needed a secure haven before getting into the crazy apartment-market around here. Margaret was our host for the first 5 weeks, and we totally loved it.
The house is more than welcoming, Margaret is a very interesting person with tons of stories to tell and made us feel at home from the beginning on. I could not imagine a more helpful host.
The room has plenty of space (even for 2 people), the kitchen is very beautiful and spacious. The bathroom is a pleasure - heated tile floor, newly renovated. The house was clean throughout, very light and friendly.

Overall, we can only recommend Margaret's place for a start in Stanford/Mountain View/Palo Alto etc.
