Excellent location as we had a car. It is about 10 minutes drive from the CBD and closer to Sandy Bay shops. Without a car, there is a reasonable walk to Sandy Bay but buses at end of street if preferred. Flat has a view over greenery in an adjacent valley and also, Mount Wellington which is uplifting. Was aware of a prior review commenting about dog barking but this was not an issue for us. Area was very quiet and peaceful. All in all, delighted to have found it and if in Hobart again would definitely try here as first choice.
