I had a wonderful time in Hobart, Andy's place is exactly as described, the neighbourhood is very calm, the room was very nice,cozy,clean,spacious and private! we spent two nights in his house, there was no issues using the kitchen which made us feel like we were actually in our own place. We have met Andy's son but unfortunately we haven't had the chance to meet Andy himself to get to know him better as he was out of Tasmania.
If you are planning to stay in hobart for few nights I would definitely recommend this room to others.
