I am available mostly through booking platform messaging but I give privacy to my guests. If there is an urgent issue, you can always call me.

I have been living in Canberra for quite some time and can help you navigate your way around the local area if you need me. I can also provide you with tips on the best places to go for food or just to have fun!

Located in the heart of Braddon, this apartment offers unbeatable access to some of Canberra’s most acclaimed dining and café spots. Just a short stroll away, you'll find Barrio Collective, Lonsdale Street Roasters, and Sweet Bones Café, all known for their top-tier coffee and vibrant brunch scenes.

Shopping is just as convenient with The Canberra Centre only 10 minutes away, offering a wide selection of major retailers, fashion brands, and a fresh food market. For more local flavor, the boutique stores along Lonsdale and Mort Streets provide an eclectic mix of fashion, homewares, and specialty shops, while the Haig Park Village Markets on Sundays showcase handmade goods and local produce.

Nature and recreation are easily within reach. Haig Park, just across the road, offers a peaceful green space ideal for morning walks, while Lake Burley Griffin and Commonwealth Park are less than 10 minutes by car, perfect for lakeside picnics, scenic walks, and weekend paddleboarding. For panoramic views, Mount Ainslie Lookout is also nearby, offering sweeping vistas of the city and its landmarks.

Tourist destinations such as Parliament House, the National Gallery of Australia, Questacon, and the Australian War Memorial are all within a 10–15 minute drive, making the location ideal for both locals and visitors wanting to explore the nation’s capital. With the light rail stop just outside the building and frequent buses along Northbourne Avenue, getting around the city is effortless, whether you're heading into Civic, Dickson, or beyond.

From the front door of Cento, the light rail is the easiest way to explore the city. The Elouera Street stop is located right outside the building, giving you direct access to Civic in just a couple of minutes. It’s also a smooth ride north to Dickson and Gungahlin, making it ideal for commuting, shopping, or a casual day out.

If you’re taking the bus, you’re well connected. Several major bus routes run along Northbourne Avenue, just steps from your door. Whether you're heading to the ANU, Canberra Airport, or Woden, the bus network makes it simple to travel across the city without needing a car.

Driving is equally convenient in this central location.

Rideshare services like Uber and taxis are also readily available, perfect for nights out or quick errands.

Walking is one of the best ways to enjoy the neighborhood. Braddon is flat, safe, and incredibly walkable. Within minutes, you can reach dozens of cafes, bars, boutique shops, and the Canberra Centre. Everything you need is close by, making it easy to leave the car at home.

For those who prefer two wheels, the area is also very bike-friendly. Dedicated paths link Braddon to the city, the lake, and surrounding suburbs, offering a scenic and efficient way to get around.
