I was in Melbourne for my son's operation and spent long hours at the hospital. As a result, I did not get to meet my host until my final morning there. The interesting thing is that I had already formed a very positive view of my host from the light room and simple, homely elegance of its furnishings and Maleela's taste in general. My impressions of her were confirmed after our first conversation - she is warm, welcoming and has a great heart which is reflected in the energy of her home. Although she was very interested n meeting and learning about me, at the same time, she was respectful and allowed me the space and privacy to do what I needed to do. I would love to stay here again.
