It’s a gem
We were pleasantly surprised by the apartment’s clean and stylish presentation. Very quiet area located walking distance to CBD, shopping and dining. Also convenient access to Light Rail public transport to the northern suburbs of Canberra. We would definitely look it up next time we are planning to be in Canberra.
