This modern and artistic 3BR Apt w/ outdoor dining is only a 5-minute drive to Parliament House, the National Art Galleries, National Library and Questacon. For your convenience, it is a self-check-in apartment so there's no need to meet someone on-site. We would love to host you!

Very clean, excellent communication from host. Perfect location. I was very impressed with the bathroom supplies, not the silly little throw away tubes of hand wash. Check in had quiet a few steps but it all made sense and I recommend watching the very helpful youtube video that was made to help with the check in process. Canberra itself is a lovely city with so many free things to see and do with family. We will be back, absolutely.
