Very comfortable accommodation in a vibrant locati
The apartment and the service offered are excellent. Kingston is a lovely area with loads of cafes, eateries and pubs within walking distance and very centrally situated. However with this upside comes a downside and the sports bar downstairs is a little noisy.

Would stay here again.
The apartment was fine for a couple, the kitchen well equipped, even had a laundry in the bathroom. The bed was very, very comfortable and the pillows were top notch. The unit was warm, light and airy. The location was handy to several cafes, a bus stop and taxi rank. My only criticism would be that the carpet needs to be replaced, it was lifting off the floor in several places.

Great location for a stay in Canberra
Good sized apartment with its own off street secure parking. Very handy for shops and restaurants in Kingston and Manaka. Really enjoyed staying there. The only slight negative was the bedroom was really warm at night despite the aircon in the lounge area, and the lack of a working light on the garden path leading up to the entrance.

Astra is a very well located and very well equipped set of apartments just by Kingston shops, with Kingston being within easy walk/bike/public transport of Parliament/Russel. Good restaurants on the doorstep

Really Nice
Really nice place. Close to shops and cafes. Rather far from the city centre but convenient for visiting the National Library, parliament etc. The apartment is large and fully-fitted. A home away from home.
