PROS: Quick responses from host, great location, spacious hang out area, clear instructions for everything, excellent price, place came with tons of extras and bicycles and games, quiet neighborhood, fruit and snacks on the table for us, everything we needed in the kitchen, and overall very comfortable.
CONS: It was very cold (granted unusually cold for Melbourne) while we were there (37-41 F / 3-5 C) at night and the heaters have a two hour limit before they turn off automatically. Even when on for two hours we had to wear coats in the house. This is probably only very rarely a problem since it is not usually this cold in Melbourne. The place is also really low priced so we were not that troubled by this.
We were put off by multiple messages from the seller asking for 5 stars and telling us what to say in the review. We appreciate the awesome hosting and great house, but think that pressuring people to give good reviews is unprofessional and uncomfortable.
Overall this place is definitely a great deal and would be an awesome house for groups or families to enjoy Melbourne.
