Overall very pleasant, spacious room. Will recommend to family and friends.
Pros:

Amazing location, lots on offer close by. Easy access to parking.

Cons:

The bins in the room were too small. The dishwasher didn’t work. The bathroom exhaust fan also wasn’t effective. We put the sign on the door one day to have the room cleaned (bins emptied, new towels) but no one came.

Great location in Gungahlin, lots of eating options close by.
Pros:

Was a great location for visit. nice ground floor apartment, had everything needed for my stay, bonus washing machine and dryer so I could do that as I had been travelling and had further travel to do.

Cons:

King size bed was two large singles together and through use, there was a ridge in middle that was uncomfortable. Also with new venue open beside / below they need to advise live music will be happening on Friday night, lucky they stop at 10 but having busy days whilst staying it was difficult to get an early night to start the next day early.
