Set in Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory region, Private Room in a 3-Bedroom Apartment-3 has a balcony. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the guest house free of charge. The property is non-smoking and is situated 2.7 km from Canberra Centre.

Close proximity to train (light rail) station. About 5min or so walk from light rail station and only 2 stops to city and the interchange. Have to take a bus from the city to like the "main" city? Where the landmarks and touristy stuff were. Some bus stops were closed, which I had no idea of, so took quite a while to get to the landmarks. Took me awhile to find the house, too, but it was all good. I suggest coming in daylight.

Great location, pleasant walk to Dickson shops and close enough to public transport for me. Hosts were kind and friendly. I only stayed a short period and was out all day, so the bedroom and bathroom were quite adequate for my needs.
