I am available mostly through Airbnb 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 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.

Any violation of our no-party rule will result in a $2000 non-negotiable penalty, in addition to any damages.
1. Let us know if you need to check in early or leave later than the standard check-in/out times. We'd need to collect $20 for the first 30 minutes and an additional $40 for the next 30-minute increments when there is a breach in the observance of standard check-in and out times.

2. I have a STRICT "No Pets Policy" and "No Smoking Policy". These are applicable inside and outside of the property. Any breach will result in a fine of $400 plus any additional fees for specialised cleaning.

3. The cleaning fee covers the regular cleaning and linens in the property. As this is not a hotel, please try to leave the place as tidy as possible. If the property is extra messy when you leave, an extra cleaning fee will be requested (minimum of $50).

4. Please be sure you understand our cancellation policies. You can find our current policy on our Airbnb listing.

5. Only those persons who made the reservation may stay at our property. If you're a business or government agency booking for other people, please contact us in advance to ensure access details are made clear.

6. No parties or gatherings of more than the maximum number of people that can book the property. Any non-guests must leave by 10:00 pm. And there should strictly be no loud noise after 10:00 pm. There is a $2000 penalty if this house rule is breached.

7. There are some items in the kitchen (tea, coffee, sugar, milk) that you are welcome to use. Also, the pantry has a few basics (i.e. muesli). We don't stock in the refrigerator or provide any meals.

8. I list my property as not suitable for kids or infants as it is not child-proofed and we don't have baby amenities (i.e. high chair, cot). However, if the kids will be under adult supervision at all times, booking with children is no problem.

9.⁠ ⁠The property will be holding a security deposit for all stays. If no damages are identified, the full amount will be released within 3 days of check-out. In case of damages, necessary fees will be deducted, and affected parties will be promptly notified.
