Exactly as expected and as advertised. This is a fantastic deal in a great location if, after reading the description, you think such a simple dorm-like place, with all that this implies, is what you're after.

If you are in a touristy mood and like to walk, this place is close to all the major touristy neighborhoods. From there, I was able to visit large parts of central Melbourne without taking the bus once. And it's very close to the central train station if you take SkyBus to/from the airport. Being in the center of Melbourne, all kinds of shops, stores and restaurants are just a few steps away.

The place very much looks like an old student residence, with a locked door to each room, a shared fully equipped kitchen (with designated space for each room), tiny living room space and two small bathrooms (each with a shower, but only one with a sink). If you're looking for something like that, then you can hardly find something better situated, and at such a low price. I was out early and in late at night and barely saw any of the other lodgers in my 8 days there.

The room was, as expected, very basic, with a bed, heater (even then, it got a bit cold as there was no way to completely close the window), a cupboard, and a desk + chair. Free Wifi worked great and reliably. If you're from another continent, don't forget to bring/buy an adapter if you intend to use the power outlet. You'll need to be able to climb stairs up to a high second floor.

The place was clean, but obviously that will depend, outside of the room, on the other lodgers. Although I didn't interact much with Yee, communicating with her was very efficient and her instructions were clear. I understand she came by probably every day.

Highly recommended, provided a bare bones shared place is what you are looking for.
