Canberra Parklands Central
We really like the layout of the apartment. There is lots of space to settle in and feel like home away from home. But the couch in our apartment was lumpy, very uncomfortable. We were only serviced twice during the week, we accept there were public holidays in there but we had rubbish in our bins ...
