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.
