This location was one of my favorite spaces ever! It was so cozy and welcoming! (Tasmania was colder than mainland Australia.) The area of Sandy Bay (and Hobart) was amazing with natural and man-made beauty! When I looked at the location information online it said it had a river view. (The massive river was roughly 2km wide! Beautiful!) The apartment was perfect for a single person or small family and was located under Marrianne's home (and had a concrete slab above the ceiling so it was sound-proof). The kitchen was spacious and had plenty of cooking utensils and supplies. They had even supplied some fresh and pantry food. (including espresso and instant coffee!) The Master Bedroom had a queen bed, heater and huge closet. The lounge (living room) had a nice view, couch, single bed, tv, dvd, heater and bookshelves. The bathroom was a "wet" bathroom. It was open without a shower curtain but very neat and worked just fine! Attached was private laundry (detergent provided) and storage for boxes that I had for work. Also outside was a covered carport (side open), sitting area and grill.

Marianne and Paul (and their daughter Natalie) were so hospitable and sweet! Natalie met me when I arrived and showed me around. Also they gave me some ideas about things to do and places to go. On Saturday, I went to Salamanca Market and up to Mt. Wellington. They were AWESOME but Mt. Wellington was super cold and windy! Sunday I went to church at Hillsong and then went to Bonorong Wildlife Preserve.

Checkout was easy too! Paul helped me with my leftover boxes and kept them for me for pickup.

This felt very safe and whenever I needed anything, Natalie and Marrianne were available via text or call.

Overall, this was a very nice place to stay!
