Gwendolines place is a good option for a few days in Melbourne. We didn't meet her, but the communication was pretty good. Check in was a bit complicated, cause we didn't have the apartment number and we had to wait for another resident to get into the building. The room was big and the ensuite bathroom was nice and clean. The rest of the flat, especially the kitchen, were unfortunately not in a good condition and pretty "used". We had really nice flatmates and we enjoyed talking to them. Unless the flat has definitely seen better days, it's a good and cheap option to settle down for a few days.
