We arrived via the skybus transfer to the space hotel round the corner and walked from there - I'd recommend that if you're traveling from the airport. Communication from the host was clear and so check in was easy. I feel that the place was nicer than the photos and we found it comfortable/ clean. The lift still isn't working, but it's out of the hosts hands and we wouldn't have used it anyway - It's only 2 flights of stairs. Wi-Fi worked perfectly for the duration of our stay and the shower was nice. Cooking facilities were suitable even though we didn't need to use them (Melbourne is food heaven even for us vegans).
The location is very central and even though the tram system in the cbd is free, we just walked everywhere and had a blast. If you're here for a few days, stay at this place. I doubt it'll let you down
