1002/398 St Pauls Terrace, FORTITUDE VALLEY

Most ads claim everything is "walking distance" even if it's a 3km hike. This place is actually central. You can reach the train station in about 4 minutes-roughly the time it takes to find your keys and leave. The Apartment - - Living Space: Open layout with air conditioning. It's a straightforward space that is easy to furnish and keep tidy. - Kitchen: Modern setup with a dishwasher and quality oven/cooktop. - Balcony: Large enough for a table and chairs, not just a place to store a bike. - Rooftop: Access to the pool, gym, and BBQ area with views over the city. The Reality of Getting Around - - 4 mins (Walk): To Fortitude Valley Station. - 12 mins (Walk): To the RBWH (Royal Brisbane & Women's Hospital). - 20 mins (Walk): To the CBD (or just 5 minutes if you take the train). - 2.5 hours (Walk): To the Brisbane Airport. Please don't do this. Just take the Airtrain from the station down the road; you'll be at the terminal in 20 minutes and won't arrive covered in sweat.
