I traveled to Hobart for four days with a couple of academic colleagues to conduct some research and had the pleasure of staying in Lea's beautiful three bedroom house.

The house is just a short stroll from the CBD, Salamanca and Hobart waterfront where we took advantage of a range of dining options and sampled some of the excellent local wines. The house is very comfortable and well appointed - with all the mod-cons, including fast broadband.

Lea was a pleasure to deal with and the arrangements for checking in and out of the house were well communicated. Lea's 'house booklet' provided a terrific introduction to the area and her recommendation of the Pigeon Hole for breakfast is spot on-we returned there every day!

We will be back in Hobart later in the year for a second round of research and hope we can again stay in this wonderful house.
