Only a few minutes away from the nearest tram stop that will take you to City Center (Federation Square) in 12 minutes or so. Some food like fruit, pasta, milk, coke are already provided by the host, who responds to your emails and requests not just with words but by action. And he does it very promptly. On the first day I asked him if there is another kitchen knife, and in the afternoon he delivered us a few new knives. I'd recommend this place to people who plan to stay in Melbourne for more than a few days.
