Long-Term Stay Backpacker Hostels - Melbourne

Now that I've got a job in the city, it's time to find somewhere to stay. I've worked out my budget and it looks like I might be stuck in Melbourne for about 12 months :( I'm attempting to find a single room within 10 mins travel-time of the city, with great shower facilities (my only "must-have"), and paying just $100-$120pw all expenses inclusive. I don't know if it's possible, but I desperately need to try...

Aargh, where is that cheap room that I so desire!! :(

Here's what I've found so far...

desperate and need to pay $180pw for accommodation, then I'd definitely consider
this place, but will have to confirm with them whether a non-student is allowed
to stay. :(
