Maureen is a GREAT host - super welcoming and friendly, really easy going, nothing's a problem. I loved staying there - it's always warm (and I was there during a period when I was literally scraping ice off my windscreen in the morning), the room is private and has its own bathroom, bed is comfy, internet speed is really good if that's an important factor (I was conducting video meetings no problems) and that big bath was a bonus I hadn't quite factored in when I booked. Check-in was easy and coming and going independently was easy too. The courtyard would be GREAT and private in summer. Totally recommended!! Pro tip - if you are coming from the city use Riverdsdale Rd instead of Toorak Rd
