★★★★★. Exactly what an Airbnb should be.
Jenny’s place has a cool little beach house vibe in a quiet neighbourhood perched on the hills surrounding Kingston beach, far enough from noise and traffic but an easy drive to the middle of Hobart. The space is a self-contained flat adjoining, but fully separate from, the main residence. It’s spacious, clean and affordable, it has fast Wi-Fi and an amazing shower, precisely what an Airbnb should be.
Jenny and her husband (and Barney the Goldie) are excellent hosts, helpful, friendly and fanatical in their attention to detail. They have stocked the main room with virtually everything you could possibly need to keep yourself entertained of an evening, between sightseeing or on a rainy day. In truth any cons I could list would be so few and nit-picky as to barely warrant mentioning; the fridge is a little small I guess, could have used an electric fry pan… pretty minor stuff…
I’ve stayed in Hobart a number of times before but the holiday parks and hotels always seem put a barrier between you and the locals. Jenny’s place makes you feel a part of the lifestyle instead of a part of the economy, well worth a visit…
