As always I will say the whole truth and nothing but the truth albeit long winded -I’ll say the minuses then the pluses. The minuses are that there is no verandah doors. It is a tiny bed sit/ granny flat comprised of one room. When you open the back door you have a tiny concrete walkway and you do have a view of the harbour but in front is the view of a neighbours house and unkempt garden. The worst thing was the thumping and bumping from the adjacent unit. I thought I had been very careful and asked questions to make sure the house was separate from the unit and that it was quiet and private. It was private, yes that is true, but when the neighbours of the adjacent unit were there it was not quiet. There were large thumps and gangs through the night Sat night very late to early morning, too late for me to disturb Carmel to ask them to keep it down but I could hear music and laughing thumping and pumping, they either didn’t know or didn’t care that I was there, it was from very late Sat night and into the morning on and off. This is my fault not Carmel’s for not reading the listing carefully as it said it had an adjacent unit! I was worried about that but the owner said I wouldn’t hear or see anyone-I didn’t see anyone but I sure heard them! This was beyond the owners control. It’s not her fault she has noisy tenants. I could have asked them to be quiet but I didn’t want to cause an upset as sometimes asking for people to be quiet makes them louder! There was no a/c ! But my fault again for not seeing that on the listing. I will in the future check the listings very carefully.! The pluses are that the unit was very clean with new and nice furnishings. You could tell the linen was new and clean. The space was totally clean and tidy. I really appreciated that. When the neighbours went out it was quiet enough for me to sleep. If they had not been there it would have been peaceful as it was indeed away from the main house and you didn’t hear suburban noise such as mowing, whipper skippering or cars. The fan was very powerful and gave great white noise which blocked a fair amount of disturbance from the adjacent unit and thankfully it was not a heatwave weekend, although was warmer than the average Hobart day of winter conditions. The fan was great! So the unit was like a concrete bunker like my yacht. You can hardly hear anything which I like but sadly you could still hear the thumps and bumps. Apart from not having an opening terrace verandah door and for having the neighbours house your first view into their lounge the view is good of the Bay. I didn’t mind it being a concrete bunker as it was down a lot of stairs and hidden away under the verandah up top. I didn’t mind that because it was cool and private. I am used to small spaces and it was just me there. Carmel was kind to me on my first night and made me a cup of tea and sandwiches. She also left cereal, milk champagne and some shampoo there which was nice. Again it is out of her control about the neighbours and my fault for not reading the listing properly re the adjacent unit., verandah doors and no air con. For what it was, it felt a bit overpriced however I totally appreciated again the quality new linen, floor mat and that it was spotlessly clean. The towels were soft instead of hard as at a lot of places they are hard or not clean, and a lot of places don’t change the linen and think the new guests won’t notice. We do! But Carmel did right by me that way. Also that she was kind to me and wrote me positive messages. So although it doesn’t sound like I am all happy, the negatives are out of her control and it gave me the shelter I needed while I was there. The location was good and if I has asked specific questions I could have got a bus to quite close to there instead of a long walk away. It had lovely views and is near the University. You don’t hear anyone from the houses but the adjacent unit is an issue. It is too close. It is not noise proof when you have loud people in there. However I want to thank Carmel for looking after me while I was there. Enjoy your life. You have a great house and view in Hobart. Thank you again!
