We had a lovely stay at Russell's place. While Russell himself is a really friendly host when you meet with him, he really respected our privacy and I guess he took his cue from us regarding our desire (or not) for interactions over our stay.
The apartment was spotlessly clean and so private and really spacious for just one couple. There was a lovely private little deck with BBQ for our personal use. Fantastic shower and the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Full kitchen with basic cooking supplies plus tea, coffee, sugar and Russell provided us with fresh fruit and milk. The gym is a separate building set way, way back in the garden, so not intrusive in any way. Our little dog was also very happy here. This is our favourite Hobart airbnb to date. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a little oasis just 10 mins from CBD
