I loved staying at Kathy’s little flat in West Hobart. The place is a nice, quiet oasis on a charming street of historic workers cottages and slightly grander residences. The neighbourhood has some great, funky spots to eat and drink, and it is a short-ish walk to the city centre, Salamanca market and the wharf. Kathy was very welcoming and hospitable and I’d definitely stay there again. The only thing to be aware of is that the house is on a very steep street and there is a narrow path with steep steps to the entrance of the flat. This didn’t bother me at all, and was part of the charm of the historic neighbourhood, but it would be an issue for people with mobility issues.
