    The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms were hot and stuffy. Ceiling fans would have been beneficial.

    The location was very convenient. The garden areas provided an oasis from the usual street views and softened traffic noise. Maund bedroom and living space great.

    The communication about the key safe code on the day before was not ideal as I was travelling to Australia on the day it was sent. Another issue was the building works that were around the place, this made it quite uncomfortable to beat the jetlag

    The location was great.

    The apartment is on the older side of things and some maintenance and deep cleaning would be of benefit. The wifi access wasn’t great, and unfortunately regular network access is patchy too.

    The location was fabulous, quiet and close to an amazing supermarket and numerous food options. The apartment was large and comfortable, with everything needed for a short (or long) stay. Beds were great, washing machine and dryer in the unit and a lovely balcony. Be advised that if you have a car roof capsule or similar, you won’t be able to drive into the carpark due to the incline leading in. There is a paid carpark ($4/day I believe) and some street parking.

    No remote controls for the two televisions. No way to access them.

    Lots of detail but they forgot to send a message with the code, which they were supposed to do on the date of arrival. I had to ring the emergency number to get code for the appropriate safe to obtain the keys.

    The check in online requires photos of credit card and driving license. In these days of scams nobody wants those items in someone else's hands. No need for it.

    Love the building and apartment, right in Kingston.

    Pillows in bedrooms were uncomfortable - - too thick but when we asked for thinner ones they were unavailable. Also there was a very strong and unpleasant smell of cooking in the entrance lobby of the area where our apartment was located - poor ventilation. Also, the shower recess needs an attachment on the wall to hold on to avoid slipping.

    Very pleasant staff at reception and always willing to help

    I didn’t realise it was a four story walk up. I recommend taking smaller bags instead of the one giant one I took.

    Loved this little apartment. The whole building was very quiet. Fantastic location for easy access to Canberra’s sites and also public transport. The apartment has clearly been refurbished and looks amazing.
