Maureen's house is absolutely stunning and the location is perfect, you can easily walk to Fitzroy and Collingwood and if you don't feel like walking there is tram stops just around the corner.
Maureen is a great host, friendly, attentive and caring - staying at her place was like staying with a family friend and I enjoyed meeting her.
I did not get to meet her son, but Grace, the dog, is adorable...
