The stay was as expected, so I recommend it.
You mainly get what you pay for: a room in a shared building. So don't expect bathrooms or the kitchen to always be clean - that didn't bother me too much as I just slept there.
However, be careful and try not to lock yourself out of the room, because calling a lock-picker cost me 150 AUD. Also, try to anticipate your questions for the host, because as they manage hundreds of apartments, you won't get the fastest response.
