My group really enjoyed our time in Hobart and the house was in a really good location. It was walking distance to a great grocery “Hill Street Grocer”, restaurants, and city center. There was plenty of space for a big group of people. Shower is hot and has good water pressure. I also appreciate the timed heating as we were comfortably warm at all times.
However, there were some issues. First of all, the host was less than helpful when I messaged them as we were having a hard time finding the place. A list of Frequently Asked Questions were provided on the fridge but they were not clear and lacked details. Road works were conducted (blocking the driveway) during our stay but no mention of this was made until they commenced.
Secondly, we realised on our 5th day that the fridge was not working. The freezer worked but the fridge was not cold. We had to bin our milk and multiple expensive cheeses. I messaged the host to let them know but did not receive a reply.
Thirdly, water pooled on the bathroom floor, due to a shower leak, and bath mat was constantly wet. Be prepared to sacrifice multiple pairs of socks++. In the toilet, the unit appears to not be securely attached to the wall and moves when you press the flush.
Fourth, the staircase is dangerously slippery. Two people slipped and fell during our stay, even though they were careful when coming down the staircase.
Just to note, the front panel of the oven unit gets really hot. Children should be kept at a distance when using it.
I understand that this place is undergoing some restoration but it was not clear what parts of the house are impacted. In future, it would be helpful to update guests on what specific issues they should anticipate.
My group still enjoyed our trip to Hobart. I would be happy to recommend this listing to others if these issues are addressed.
