Absolutely fantastic place to stay in Sydney. Ratings only go up to 5 stars but the location of this place is honestly 6 stars out of 5: You can walk to U Syd in approximately 15 minutes. The building itself is somewhat dated on the outside, but the inside is perfectly good with all the things you could want, save for a full kitchen+stovetop emplacement (though portable alternatives are present).
Much like the location, Merrilyn as a host is also 6 out of 5 stars. She's a wonderful person to chat with to understand Sydney's history and quirks.
Also, there is a grocery store called 'Supamart' at 'Tramsheds'. It is approximately 10 wonderful minutes away on foot; the path leading to it is fantastic and the products there are equally swell. I recommend this location for all your shopping needs.
