This property is absolutely charming. It's historic (lead windows added to the charm) but fresh and modern, too (the newly renovated bathroom is very spa-like).

Note that quarters are a part of the main estate; the family lives below in the main area and it's a stair climb to reach it. We never ran into any issues with noise or family bustle for the record and the entrance is virtually private (there is a foyer with two doors of which one leads to the main home).

It's also within walking distance of the downtown - including the popular Salamanca Place shopping and dining district and feels very safe. If you rent a car (like we did) it's easy to find parking on the street just outside the house.

Rebecca, the hostess, was wonderfully supportive of us as travelers (responding to tourist questions for our party of 4 within minutes, typically) and she was just generally warm and hospitable.

Nice touches include:

fridge was stocked with basics for coffee and cooking and such (milk, butter, sugar, etc.)
a booklet of area (recommended) attractions (arts, dining, and so forth)
freshly baked goodies the (very early) morning of our departure
a bookshelf of varied reads

All four of us travelers did, however, wish that the WiFi worked better; it really only worked in the kitchenette and living room and not in the bedrooms. We also would have liked more hooks for hanging things and possibly fans for the warm nights.

This place is ideal for one or two couples. Not too large for the former and not to big for the latter.

Catching the sun rise or set through the kitchenette's window is noteworthy, too.

If we came back to Hobart, I don't think there would be any argument on staying here again. We expect some of challenges with it being a newly renovated place will be ironed out by then, too (WiFi, etc.)
