Being in close proximity to bars/ restaurants etc has it pros and cons.
I felt very exposed to this popular walking route by party goers and had a very drunk woman banging on my door in the middle of the night and I had to endure an overheard conversation on her mobile phone. Upon returning to the apartment during the day I had someone sitting on the door step and felt uneasy about entering.
I realise it’s not the owners fault, but as a woman travelling alone I felt quite exposed and slightly unsafe. The front door is right on the street and it has a very inviting large step where people obviously stop for a smoke/chat/rest. The walls must be paper thin as you hear every passing car/ footsteps/conversation.
Another factor is Saturday football at the north Hobart oval. I really struggled to find a car park in the vicinity.
