Scarlett was able to accommodate me in a last-minute booking. She had another guest in the usual Airbnb room, and so I stayed in Scarlett's room while she stayed elsewhere. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Scarlett made herself available via text, which was helpful as I left my keys in the apartment one afternoon!
There's a good cafe just across the street and a 7-Eleven a block away, so you can meet your essential needs nearby. For more bars, cafes, and restaurants, you'll have to walk a bit further (maybe 10 minutes). The 96 tram is very close for going downtown or all the way to the beach. If you like running, Merri Creek is a short jog away and offers a several-mile path through nature.
Overall a solid choice if you're looking for basic accommodation in Melbourne.
