his was our first experience with Airbnb and it has been a completely positive one, right from our first communication with David and Merrie. They promptly replied to any questions we had regarding the accommodation. We were greeted upon our arrival by Merrie and made to feel welcome; including a brief tour of their interesting garden. We were shown a pleasant outdoor seating area which provides lovely water views and was available for us to enjoy at any time during our stay. A delightful, private and quiet place to enjoy a cup of tea while taking in the relaxing and expansive outlook.
Our accommodation was exactly as described in the listing. It did not disappoint in any area. Everything was sparkling clean which is a top priority for us when choosing accommodation For example, the bedspread with a mostly white background was immaculate. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed a good night's sleep. Pillows of different thicknesses were provided which meant we could choose our personal preference. Really appreciated that option. Several different kinds of cereal were provided including muesli. The fridge contained a refreshingly cold bottled water, good quality milk, real butter and several slices of multi-grain bread. Really enjoyed the tangy citrus kumquat preserve. The chocolates and home-made goodies were very nice indeed. There was a wide selection of teas from which to choose. The good quality kettle meant that the heating element was not exposed to the water as is the case with cheaper brands.
The TV was of a high quality which we were able to view while relaxing in two very comfortable chairs. That was really appreciated after the long drive to Hobart. Plenty of space in the large walk-in closet with lots of shelving and hangers, so we had a place to store all our personal items which meant the living area was not cluttered. The provision of off-street parking was very important to us as well.
The house is located in a pleasant neighbourhood and we felt safe and secure. We especially appreciated the privacy afforded to us by our hosts. At no time did we feel that they were intruding on our space. They were polite and made it clear that if we had any questions or concerns we just needed to let them know. In the meantime we were on our own to relax and settle in for our stay. We had our own separate entrance and although it is part of one house we were not even aware of their presence. Really felt like home to us.
This listing was perfect for us in the sense that what was provided perfectly suited our needs and preferences to a high standard. My wife and I would like to return to David and Merrie's place the next time we visit Hobart.
