What an amazing location! The unit is located in Battery Point and is literally less than 5 minutes walk to Salamanca Place - where you can find markets, pubs, restaurants and the Salamanca arts centre. You could spend many days just meandering through Battery Point and still not see everything there is to see. See if you can find Kelly's steps - the shortcut between Carol's place and Salamanca.
The unit is only a 15-minute walk to the heart of the CBD, or you can catch a bus from the stop 5 minutes walk up the road. Walking 5 minutes either North or East will land you on the shore front to watch the sun set over the ocean.
The unit is great for a couple or a single with a well-equipped kitchen. The balcony is perfect for a morning coffee and start of the day and the lounge room (Netflix included) is great for unwinding at night after a busy day exploring.
Hobart does get cold, but the heaters are enough to keep out the winter chills.
There is a car park space, but the car park is very narrow and will only accommodate the smallest of cars. When you have everything at your fingertips, there's not a lot of need for a car. If like us, you are planning on doing a bit of touring around Tasmania, then a bigger car is necessary. There is ample street parking around the area but there is a time limit of 2-3 hours starting after 8 am (but no limit on Sundays). If you're out of the house and travelling before then, you won't have a problem with the street parking.
I'd highly recommend Carol's place to anyone wanting to explore Hobart and Salamanca. Thanks again for the wonderful stay Carol!
