Lily's place is very handy to Monash Uni. There is also a 7-eleven near by, and a McDonalds in walking distance. It was very cold, and the warm blanket on the bed was very appreciate. I would have loved a small heater! You share a shower with 4 other rooms, there is a second shower but no one could use it as there was no water pressure. The bathroom gets wet and dirty pretty quickly. It's really a uni pad. There were instructions to be courteous to other housemates, but not everyone stuck to the rules. You need to bring earplugs, lots of slamming doors. Check in and check out was very easy. There is a shopping centre you can walk to (M-City) if you're keen.
