FIVE STARS. Margo and Mark are warm, welcoming and very helpful hosts and the scientist's residence was everything you'd need for a stay in Hobart. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped and the bed and sitting areas are comfortable and spacious. The bathroom is entirely new and also very well-equipped. On arrival the apartment was spotless. We were a fifteen/twenty-minute walk along a beautiful track into Hobart. There are a number of great local cafes a short walk away. If you're looking for a peaceful, charming place to stay that's well-located without being in the middle of downtown Hobart, we can't recommend the scientist's residence highly enough. We will be back.
