The flat is in a fabulous area, close to a lovely walk around wetlands, as well as restaurants and markets. We used the balcony which was lovely and the kitchen and laundry were great. Just a few issues - the shower doesn't have a complete door, the water goes onto the bathroom floor but doesn't drain into the drain, so the floor gets really wet and has to be mopped away. The exhaust fan in the bathroom doesn't work and the blinds in the bedroom don't meet so the early morning sun streams in.

Good but little space in the apartment.

Our stay with two adults was good. However, the apartment appeared not to have been cleaned upon arrival. After contacting the landlord, this was done the same evening. Despite that, it could be cleaner. The apartment offers (too) little space to store your own belongings. The existing cupboards are locked with probably the owner's/resident's belongings.The apartment itself is not large, but it does have its own space in the underground garage.

Great apartment in a great location

The apartment was very well presented and comfortable with great cafes only a stroll away. The lack of wifi could have been a problem as Optus has poor coverage in the apartment, but as it was a long weekend didn't need to fire up the laptop for work, so not a problem in the end. Will definitely use the apartment again when wanting to stay in Canberra.

Love the location, right on the foreshore and any closer you would be in the water. Nice and close to tourist locations too. Bed was comfy and apartment is easily accessible. The apartment is a private residence, something not mentioned until after the question was asked after paying via WOTIF, then being redirected to a different site for confirmation. Booking was not refundable otherwise would definitely have booked elsewhere, I wasn’t quite comfortable sleeping in someone else house, especially when it wasn’t mentioned upfront. No microwave found as advertised, unless in locked cupboards so had to quickly replan meals for a 3 night stay. Bedroom blinds blocked light on a cloudy day, but was bright on the sunny Sunday, although the bedrooms are blocked by surrounding apartments. Certainly wouldn’t pay the amount we did for the apartment.
