STAIR ACCESS ONLY This is not an accessible apartment. It is not suitable for people with accessibility issues. ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE: We own a fully restored, custom-designed 1966, 13-window, double-door VW Kombi.

Neighborhood

Braddon is Canberra's most densely populated suburb, so it's no surprise that the lifestyle and entertainment options in Braddon are thriving. Braddon is home to arguably some of the best coffee in Canberra. Even the most particular of coffee connoisseurs will be impressed by Barrio Collective Coffee, on Lonsdale Street and Lonsdale Street Roasters. Also on Lonsdale Street is a slew of bars and restaurants, with spots along this strip topping many of Canberra’s ‘must-visit’ lists for brunch, breweries, vino, and vibes. Staying right in the heart of it all guarantees you’ll never be bored — with different spots for date night every day of the week, there’s no reason to venture beyond Braddon. Particularly worthy of mention is Bentspoke, which is consistently named as one of Canberra’s best microbreweries, eightysix restaurant, and our favorite, Corella. You’ll see plenty of impressive street art along the roadside buildings and several yoga studios and modern gyms, art classes, and music schools all located in Braddon. Haig Park comes to life every Sunday with the Haig Park Markets. From live music, delish street eats, fresh produce, and everything in between, it's a must-do if you're in town over the weekend. When you want to head out but don't want to get right into it on Lonsdale Street, The Howling Moon is at the end of the street, right next to the Astin apartments. It's a rooftop bar with arguably one of the best views across Canberra. You can settle in with a bottle of wine or two, get some snacks or drop in for a main meal.

Guest access

Stair access only. You'll have access to the entire 1 bedroom micro apartment.

From the moment we booked until our final message to Jacqui we felt welcomed, respected and at home. The whole process was seamless, the instructions were incredible and the sweet touches like a box of chocolates were just icing on the cake. If I had to be super picky, I would have loved some extra towels for when I washed my hair, I am confident though if I messaged about this Jacqui would have run over with some. Amenities were incredible, location was the perfect distance from civic and all of the cafes so you had plenty of time to digest dinner on the walk home. Was super easy to get delivery as well due to the great labelling on the building. We will be back. Thanks for such a great stay!

Me and my partner had a wonderful time here. It was a beautiful little apartment for our get away. It was easy to find and located close to everything. The apartment itself is small however it has everything you need, it was nice and clean when we arrived and felt like we were at home. I’d recommend anyone looking for a trip to Canberra to stay here.
