The apartment was in a charming part of Sandy Bay, was very cosy and equipped with all that we needed.
We were travelling with our 6 month old and the apartment was set up well to house a baby who is not yet crawling. Natalie provided a travel cot with bedding, and though there were three small flights of steps to the front door, we found that we could easily bring our light pram up and down when needed.
Highlights:
Shower nice and hot; pretty view over the old rooftops and chimneys of Sandy Bay out to the Derwent; wifi included; bedding was super clean and comfortable; apartment well heated for winter (multiple oil heaters and electric blankets); quiet street; front door keypad means getting in and out is very easy and you never have to worry about knowing where a key is.
Tips:
If walking to the Battery Point precinct or Salamanca from apartment, the least hilly route is via Sandy Bay Road. There's a very direct path along Nanny Goat Lane, a pretty but steep staircase that takes you directly towards Hampden Road. It's a pleasant way to build your appetite for a rabbit pie at Jackman & McRoss.
It's quite bright in the morning through the living room window, so draw the curtains before bed if you're light sensitive.
If you're arriving by Skybus, Stop 2 near the harbour is the closest place to get off to reach the apartment. We walked from there (we like to walk) and it took just over 15 minutes with luggage, including a couple of hills.
Sisterhood, a few minutes' walk away, does a dynamite breakfast.
