The location was excellent. Right in the middle of town with lots of restaurants nearby. The staff were helpful and efficient. The apartment was very clean, with lots of appliances for self-catering. We didn't use them as we ate out. The bed was comfortable, and the air conditioning worked well in a chilly Canberra. I would highly recommend these apartments.

We had an amazing stay at this accommodation! Everything was brand new and sparkling clean, which was a huge plus for us. The location is absolutely perfect - it's within walking distance to almost everything, including great restaurants and shopping centers. We loved being able to explore the area without needing to drive anywhere. But what really made our stay stand out was the host. They were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The communication was seamless, and they were always happy to help with any questions or requests we had. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the accommodation, from the modern amenities to the cozy decor. It truly felt like a home away from home. We'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a convenient and comfortable stay. Five stars isn't enough - we'd give it ten stars if we could!

The perfect location. Very well appointed with everything you need if you want to make your own meals. A very pleasant balcony. The dishwasher and laundry is a great advantage. Having your own lock up garage means your car is safe. Close to the big shopping centre with everything you need. All up a great place to stay.
