We really enjoyed staying at Bernard's very funky interesting apartment. It was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. Excellent for access to public transport including the wonderful Melbourne trams and very handy to all amenities that we needed- supermarkets, restaurants and good coffee places.
If you are a very light sleeper, like one of the two of us, the noise of approaching trains at night and the early morning, was not helpful but the other one of us slept perfectly soundly so this maybe won't be a problem for many. Otherwise Bernard is an excellent communicator and we loved staying there.
