Staying at Jan's was an absolute pleasure. The room is large with an additional lounge/dining area and a huge bathroom. It's a perfect place to sleep and rest after a long day in the city. Jan provides everything you need and more: snacks, tea, coffee, extra towels, blankets, etc. There is a washing machine and fridge but cooking is limited to the microwave. Old Beach is a distance from the center of Hobart but easily accessible via a bus. There is a lovely foreshore track to walk and a small corner store. Jan was incredibly helpful. She offered to pick me up and even drove me to the supermarket. I highly recommend booking with Jan.
