Exclusive Braddon 2BR APT near Civic - by Canstay

Nice apartment on 3rd floor with a balcony - close to restaurants & one undercover parking spot Positive: The apartment is in an excellent central location in Braddon, within easy walking distance of Lonsdale Street, with its fantastic selection of restaurants, cafés and shops. It's also conveniently located close to Canberra's Civic precinct, making it a great base for exploring the city. The apartment has a practical layout with a separate living and dining area, and a well-equipped kitchen with a good range of appliances, including a dishwasher, oven, microwave and refrigerator. Having a washing machine and dryer available is also a handy feature, particularly for longer stays. The balcony provides some outdoor space and city views, and having lift access to the third floor is convenient. The detailed check-in instructions were appreciated, even though the actual process of accessing the apartment was a little complicated. Overall, the location and range of facilities were the main positives of our stay. Negative: The street noise was extremely loud, particularly on Friday night, with hooning cars and vehicles with loud exhausts regularly driving past. At times, the noise was so bad that we could barely hear the television. There was also a very loud and annoying fan-like noise coming from the air-conditioning vent above the front door overnight, despite the apartment's air conditioning being switched off. This made it difficult to sleep in the bedroom closest to the entrance. I did report this issue to the property. The apartment was also lacking some basic bathroom amenities, such as bars of soap and shower caps. Although the check-in instructions were very detailed, the process of actually accessing the apartment after collecting the keys was unnecessarily complicated. Finally, the single bed was not particularly comfortable, and the bedroom containing it had no window, which made the room feel quite stuffy.

Very central all electrical appliances should be part of the check as I informed you we were exposed to live wires on th Positive: Very central Negative: The 2nd bedroom should not be advertised as such as it’s so small with no vent or window

This stay was lovely. The location is fantastic, and the host and check in process is seamless and easy. I especially appreciated the video that accompanies the check in process - it made locating the car park very easy! The air conditioning vent next to the main bedroom is loud, and ear plugs were a must for my partner. I know that it's addressed in the description, but perhaps stronger language around the sound level is recommended. I was able to sleep without ear plugs, so it really is down to personal preferance. There was only one roll of toilet paper provided with no spares in the apartment, but again this is a very minor note to what was a truly exceptional and easy stay.

The space was immaculate, convenient, modern, and well located. The communication was excellent, with timely responses (seems to be 8-5 pm only but that could just be me). We had a bit of an issue with the construction noise below my unit but they completely resolved it to my satisfaction. Excellent spaces, good hosts.

Great location, Lonsdale street has many eating places, and interesting shops, close to light rail and a 10 min walk to Positive: Excellent location, obliging and helpful staff, equipped with everything we needed Negative: Instructions via QR code, or video, found thIS difficult regarding operation of stove, which in fact defeated us completely Despite numerous efforts, and help from the management team, we were not able to access free to air TV, as in Ch2 or SBS
