Lorraine has an 11:00am check-in on Sundays apparently, which was great. She also offered to pick me up from Thornbury train station, which is around a ten minute walk from her house. In the end I walked to her house from the tram stop. I found the house as advertised, the room pretty, the bed very comfortable (clean with plenty of pillows), but the blonde corner table unclean, and the room rather dusty. I was disappointed that the closet lacked room to hang more than a few clothes, as it was taken up with her own mess. There air-conditioning unit is in the wardrobe too, and so louder than normal during the night (however, apart from this the room and house very quiet). There are no drawers for clothes, nor room in the bathroom to take in one's clothes, or hang anything. A tiny ledge under mirror for your toiletries. I put my clothes and pajamas on the toilet seat. Unfortunately the shower, or rather, plumbing was unable to drain the shower water fast enough, and I was literally up to my ankles in my dirty shower water (unless I had the shower running so slowly I was unable to wash properly, and felt cold). The house, being old, is rather drafty, Lorraine turned up the heating for me -- but had no hotwater bottle, which I felt surprised at, as I think it is an important thing to have on offer for a female guest, in my opinion. The house smells slightly of dog (not the room though), which is unsurprising as her Lab lives there, obviously guests do not mind is as it is advertised as a house with a dog. Make sure you love dogs before booking. Also note there is no "open kitchen" for guests, although there is a microwave for heating-up. Unfortunately, Lorraine was concerned she did not have much internet data (Wifi) left on her monthly plan, and was reluctant about my using it. I did use it however, and it ran out the day I left (day four) and she messaged me to tell me that Telstra had let her know it was "maxed out". I felt this was done in a rude manner. Overall, I felt "bad" for needing to use the Wifi that she advertised was included. The included breakfast was not laid out (crockery, cutlery) as I would have expected, and would do myself. I needed to do washing, however, it was/is winter, and yet I was made to feel I was unable to use the dryer unless "the worst comes to worst" (Lorraine). This obviously does not make a guest feel welcome or comfortable, and is a ridiculous attitude to take when you have advertised yourself as having both a washing machine and a dryer available for guests and this was why I chose the property. Luckily, Melbourne was in a winter warm patch, and putting the clothes horse in my bedroom overnight meant they were dry by the...
