We’d been to Hobart a few times, and had eaten, but not stayed, in North Hobart. We thought the suburb had a great local feel, rather than being in the tourist area. Matt’s place was more spacious and well appointed than we gleaned from the photos. Extensive tips on what to see and do were provided.
It didn’t really feel like a basement as there was lots of natural light. Just the odd footstep from upstairs, which wasn’t an issue.
Easy walk to the main restaurant strip, and an Uber into town was only $8 or $9, so this is a very good option for those not needing to be right in tourist central.
