The Best of Old and New provides a great base for either a short or long stay in Hobart. It is located within an easy walk from the CBD, the Elizabeth Street dining precinct, the Hill Street Grocer and other must-visit cafes and restaurants. The kitchen provides basic appliances and utensils to enable self-catering and the washing machine is a bonus for longer stays. We were amply provided with dishwashing tabs and washing powder - thanks! Take care when using the access keypad on the front door. It gets very unhappy (i.e. locks you out) if you type in the wrong number. Nonetheless, Justin was very quick to supply a replacement access code. We thoroughly enjoyed our two-week stay here.
