What a gem! Right in the middle of a very popular coffee/ restaurant strip & independent shops. Three minute walk to an amazing Art Gallery & entry to Civic Park which is surrounded by a number of significant historic buildings. Seven minute walk to the Foreshore, go left to the dockyards right to the beach or hop on the light rail. All rooms in the apartment were huge including the balcony. Plenty of room & utensils to cook & eat & the guest laundry was well equipped to complete any washing you need to complete. Unit was spotless.
