Awesome Brooklyn Inspired Stay – Mt Ainslie View

Awesome Brooklyn Inspired Stay – Mt Ainslie View Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Awesome Brooklyn Inspired Stay – Mt Ainslie View, I’ll be honest — the name had me curious about what exactly \”Brooklyn inspired\” meant in Canberra. Turns out, it’s this really cool industrial-meets-cozy vibe that somehow works perfectly in Australia’s capital. The place has this relaxed, artsy feel that immediately puts you at ease, and you know what? That view of Mt Ainslie they promise in the name is absolutely legit.

Location & Getting Around

The location is actually one of those spots that locals would pick — not right in the tourist thick of things, but close enough that you’re not stuck. You’re looking at maybe a 10-minute drive to Parliament House and Lake Burley Griffin, which honestly beats being right in the city center where parking becomes a nightmare. I mean, Canberra’s pretty spread out anyway, so having that Mt Ainslie backdrop while still being accessible to everything that matters? That’s the sweet spot right there.

The Space Itself

The apartment really does nail that Brooklyn aesthetic — exposed brick elements, industrial touches, but with enough warmth that it doesn’t feel cold or sterile. The kitchen is properly equipped too, which matters more than you’d think when you’re staying somewhere for a few days. I actually ended up cooking breakfast there most mornings because, well, the mountain view from the dining area made it feel special. The room setup is smart — everything flows nicely without feeling cramped.

What Makes It Special

Here’s the thing that surprised me most — couples really seem to gravitate toward this place, and after staying there, I totally get why. There’s something about that Mt Ainslie view, especially at sunset, that just works for romantic getaways. The whole space has this intimate but not claustrophobic feel, and the design choices create these little moments where you want to just sit with your coffee and take it all in. Plus, the recent guests have been rating the location pretty highly, which tells you something about how well-positioned it really is.

Why Guests Love It

Look, Canberra isn’t always the easiest city to fall in love with — it can feel a bit formal and planned. But this place captures something different about the city, something more relaxed and creative. The Mt Ainslie views give you that sense of space and nature that makes Canberra special, while the Brooklyn-inspired design keeps things interesting and comfortable. It’s the kind of spot where you actually want to spend time in the accommodation itself, not just use it as a place to crash between sightseeing. And honestly? In a city where a lot of accommodations can feel pretty corporate, finding something with this much personality is refreshing.

Reviews of Awesome Brooklyn Inspired Stay – Mt Ainslie View

• Superb – Claudia from Australia – 18 May 2025 (9/10)

  Fantastic location. Modern apartment close to restaurants and shopping centre.

• Stunning stay, terrible customer service – Sarah from Australia – 4 March 2025 (7/10)

  Went here for business with an employee. Actual apartment, immaculate, so comfortable and so clean. I needed a secured car park which is why I booked here. The garage buzzer had bene stolen so there was no ability to access it. The booming manager team (AirKeeper) never resolved this issue for me and kept giving robotic responses that they were looking into this further but never did. So I had to rely on random street parking 5-10 min walk away because this location of Canberra has very little parking, and only 4P carparks nearby, no 24hr car parks. Besides this frustration, it's a great location, a clean apartment and I honestly would have kept rebooking here for business if their customer service wasn't so poor.
  If you don't need a car park, this place is stunning and the perfect stay close to night-life, public transport, and plenty of cute cafes and restaurants.

• It was a great location and the majority of the apartment was wonderful! – Shelby from Australia – 25 November 2024 (7/10)

  Very central location, surrounded by lots of cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars.
  
  What could be improved: One of the bathroom showers had difficulty draining water. Each time the shower was used the bathroom floor ended up flooding.

• Registration and access was difficult. However the apartment and location was fantastic. – Ann from Australia – 17 September 2024 (9/10)

  Loved the accommodation and fantastic location. The accommodation was well stocked.
  
  What could be improved: The registration process was a nightmare and access to the apartment was difficult as no one from AirKeeper could answer any of my questions. Airkeeper kept promising to ring back but never did – I had to constantly chase them up – it took an hour and a half of waiting before I could access the apartment. Also It would have been handy to have 2 sets of access keys.

• Superb – Briony from Australia – 28 August 2024 (9/10)

  The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Braddon with lots of shops and food places. The apartment was ideal for us and kid friendly. Great choice and would stay again.
  
  What could be improved: The vacuum supplied in the end bedroom wardrobe was terrible, it did not work at all to pick up anything on the floor. We noticed a bit of hair on the rug and wanted to vacuum however it was not good at all.
  
  They also need to vacuum under and behind beds and couches.
  
  The instructions said there was a lock on the mailbox however there was not.
