Summary
Great stay at Stuart & David's place. All the conveniences of home in a very nicely and thoughtfully styled setting, plus a great location.
Pros
-Location: walking distance to all the central Hobart attractions. Restaurants and convenience stores within 100m of the front door.
-House: very cute semi detached brick house that is probably late 1800s/early 1900s in age. It looks to have been completely renovated with a brand new bathroom, new (and stylish) furniture, plus really nice decor and lovely extra touches including throws, lots of pillows, plenty of storage, nice paintings etc. It is not described as two bedrooms, but could be IMO. One room is quite large with a very comfortable queen size bed and plenty of room to move around. The second is a separate room with a door, but has a sloping roof so apparently does not meet the minimum height requirements. It contains single bed. There is also a nicely laid out lounge room, separate kitchen with a table that can seat 4, combined shower/toilet bathroom and very cute outdoor area with a patio (it was freezing during our stay so we did not take advantage of the latter). Stuart & David have obviously put a lot of thought into providing all the conveniences of home with plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots/pans and all the appliances you would expect, including a combined washing machine/dryer, which was pretty handy. Everything you could think of needing to cook a meal was provided - a rarity in my experience. The added bonus was a Nespresso coffee pod machine and milk frother - the way to my heart!
-Stuart & David were great hosts and proactive communicators. They were very accommodating with checking out as they allowed us to leave our bags until the early afternoon, despite having guests arrive that day, as our flight did not leave until later in the day.
Some things to know
-I have no personal negatives and Stuart & David's description was very accurate. Some things that some people might want to consider are highlighted below:
-No on street parking, but you can pay for parking proximal to the house.
-Stairs to the bedrooms are quite steep, which might cause problems for people with mobility issues (it was not concern for us).
-The smaller bedroom can be noisy as there is pub next door (this is clearly disclosed in Stuart & David's description). The main bedroom was not noisy. We were not impacted as we slept with ear-plugs.
