I loved staying in Kim and Dean's studio apt. It was near some great shopping areas eg Brunswick Street and Smith Street and only 25 minutes from downtown which I regularly walked. The tram took 10-15 minutes. The studio was a good size but could have been cleaner. Dusty blinds, very dusty wardrobe, dirty windows and fridge, dirty floors (excluding kitchen) so much so that after my first shower the floor towel was blackened in contact with the floor. The top of the washing machine also needs a good clean. Sheets and towels however were immaculate, there's also a super shower, the kitchen is well resourced, all equipment worked well including internet and hosts kindly provided an electric vacuum cleaner. The main problem is that the studio is not suited to long term guests. There is no chest of drawers so for 6 weeks I had to live out of my suitcase and felt like a camper. The lounge furniture was not comfortable. Sofa seating cushions are very thin. I'd also think twice before using this old fashioned poor quality piece of furniture as a sofa bed. There is no dining table, only a tall drinks table with a small round table surface and two stools with small round seats. I had a difficult time eating here, balanced precariously on the small, round, uncomfortable, hard wooden stool with elbows raised high in the air eating at the high table. This eating arrangement is suitable only for a short stay person wanting a quick snack or coffee only. Despite the negatives I loved the studio, probably because I'm a seasoned traveller and know how to make the best of things. I recommend this place for a quick night over (the bed is really comfortable and traffic from the main road isn't too loud). I do not recommend it for a long term stay and for what it does and does not offer, I'd say the place (compared to others) is seriously overpriced.
