Alan was a perfect host. The room is large and has an old-style wardrobe perfect for the individual traveller. I understand he's equipping his home for stays for couples in the near future and that should work well. The location is a 10 min drive from the centre of Hobart along Newtown and Main Roads. The toilet separate from the bathroom is a bonus when sharing a house. Great kitchen and I suggest that especially for vegetarians, a discussion with Alan about a vegetarian diet and lifestyle will be well worth it. Alan was very understanding about a lost key and I thank him for that.
