Overall, we had a great stay at Cameron's place. I only met Cameron once, and very briefly, but he was really nice. Every time I contacted him, he responded quickly and was super accommodating of our date changes.
The place itself is as described. Very basic, but homely and had everything we needed for our stay. Particularly good things were the water pressure and temperature in the shower, extremely comfortable bed, and fast unlimited wifi. The location is hands down the best thing about the place and makes the cost of the stay worth it almost on its own. Less than a five minute walk to Spotswood station, you'll be in the city in under 20 minutes. Being walking distance to some great cafes, a handy supermarket and Grazeland was awesome, and even walking up to Yarraville or down to Newport which both have countless food/drink/shopping options is doable in half an hour. The neighbourhood felt safe and was generally quiet. Even though there is free off-street parking at the property, we parked on the street so save ourselves the hassle of having to move constantly as the parking is shared with the front unit. There are parking restrictions over the weekend because the house is so close to Grazeland.
Although the house is old, we had no issues at all with anything maintenance-wise during our stay. Due to its age, the house is not soundproof at all - another guest wrote in their review that your enjoyment of the place will probably depend on who stays in the other unit and we wholeheartedly agree with this. There were three separate parties that stayed in the other unit during the ten weeks we were staying. The first party, while lovely, had a young child who was very noisy and we heard all their conversations and clear challenges of travelling/living with a toddler both inside the house and out. The second party spent most of their time sitting inside their front door (right next to ours) smoking and coughing. This person also appeared to make a habit of watching/following me and only backed off when my partner spoke to them about it, by which time they were about to leave anyway. The third party was mercifully quiet but insisted we didn't use the washing machine as it upset their cat however that person never seemed to mind doing numerous loads of washing in a row for themselves. Granted, the washing machine does make noise which reverberates throughout the house but we felt this request was unreasonable. A perfect example of "you can't choose your neighbours."
The place took a lot of stress out of our move back to Melbourne, as we knew we had somewhere to stay while we looked for a place of our own. We are very grateful to Cameron for that.
