It was dark, drizzling and cold when I first arrived - Being worried that I will disturb the neighborhood, Jo's description of where her house is located was very accurate. And before I could find the number of the house, there was a pleasant sign out on the driveway with a welcome message and that this will be my parking lot. I felt at home already.
Jo was quick to come out to welcome me and helped with my luggage.
I followed Jo down to the lower level of the room and it was amazing. The descriptions and photos posted were on point and very accurate. The room was cosy and warm, having Jo set the heater on prior to my arrival. The room was pleasantly well organized, clean and well equipped. The washer was particularly helpful and Jo placed a rack for drying outside in the balcony. From the elevated house and balcony, the views I enjoyed were parts of Mount Wellington, a trampoline, a treehouse, occasional curious wallabies and possums. They can get on the driveway at night too, so do be careful not to run them over!
The neighourhood was very safe, and it was very convenient to get to the city plus many attractions by car.
Jo and Gavin are a great couple - Very sharing with their suggestions on places to visit in Hobart and also helpful with my enquiries. The honest note about their young children running in the house was very considerate, although it was not a big deal. The sounds were bearable despite Jo provided ear plugs! There are attractive places to visit in Hobart so sleeping-in should not be an option anyways!
I enjoyed my stay thoroughly and look forward to be back.
