New modern 1BR apt near Dickson, hotel in Canberra

Featuring inner courtyard views, New modern 1BR apt near Dickson provides accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 3.9 km from National Convention Centre Canberra.

This apartment was immaculate and I had everything I needed for a comfy stay. Amy was easy to get in touch with and very accommodating. Canberra was cold and wet during my trip, so I loved the central heating and that I could make an espresso with the pod machine when I arrived (plus there was a supply of tea for after dinner). Everything was squeaky clean, wifi was easy to connect to and the connection was strong during my online (video) classes. I appreciated the supply of shampoo/conditioner/body wash and the extra large towel, and the super comfy bed. I only stayed two nights so only used the microwave for food prep, but the kitchen & utensils are available to make simple meals for two. Would definitely stay again!
