I have been living in Canberra for quite some time now 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!
You`re right in the heart of Barton - a historic and highly regarded suburb that`s conveniently located near many of the city`s top attractions, including the Parliamentary Triangle, Kingston Foreshore, and various cultural institutions. Plus, you`ll find plenty of government departments, restaurants, and cafes within walking distance, so you won`t even need to worry about driving.
Speaking of restaurants, there are a few great places to eat in the area. Morks Restaurant is a standout option that offers excellent food at reasonable prices, with friendly and attentive staff. If you`re in the mood for something a bit more upscale, Vincent Restaurant is a fantastic choice for fine dining. The atmosphere is cozy and the service is impeccable, with truly divine dishes that will delight your senses. And if you just want to kick back with some friends and enjoy a drink, The Dock is a fun and relaxed spot that`s definitely worth a visit.
Getting around Barton is quite easy. With the apartment located at the heart of the suburb, there are numerous options for transportation available. You can use public transport such as buses, trains, taxis or even Uber, which is my personal preference. If you`re planning to use the bus, I highly recommend downloading the Moovit App. It provides real-time schedules and step-by-step directions for Bus or Light Rail routes that pass through Barton Bus Stn Plt 2. This will help you get to your destination quickly and efficiently.

Great Location
Apartment suited our needs perfectly and was in the perfect spot for tourists. Close to attractions and restaurants. Very quiet building with adequate parking. Our only complaint would be that the carpet could do with a really good shampoo. Rather grubby and our book in instructions weren’t correct.
Great location and wonderful property. Had everything needed for a wonderful stay. Only minor negative was that only one set of keys provided but that was a minor inconvenience. Highly recommended as a wonderful place to stay.

Cozy and Conveniently Located
The accomodation was situated in a very convenient area with many attractions within a few minutes drive. The apartment itself was also lovely, with comfortable beds, clean bathrooms and well functioning kitchen, a simple and cozy area with just the right amount of amenities.

Canberra stay
The property was clean, comfortable, great position to parliament house, local shops, the lake and galleries, and well equiped with cooking utensils, laundry and cleaning equipment, additional blankets and secure off street parking. Some difficulty with communication by the app. App was difficult to access. Once communication was established, responses were prompt and queries/requests dealt with efficiently and were accomodating to our needs.

Barton stay
A very good unit, very close to parliament house and near a good little market. Just a difficult check in if your in a late flight in the dark - could do with some better lighting. Otherwise great.
