Wow! Ted and Selina's apartment is without doubt a magnificent find. The studio is exactly as described and was extremely clean, cozy and comfortable for our winter getaway. The large windows create a bright and inviting space. We really appreciated the off street parking right outside the door. For me I found it easier to drive straight up the drive rather than reverse in (we hired a little MG3 so it was easy to reverse back out again).
The location cannot be beaten!! It is an easy walk down to Salamanca Place and Franklin Wharf / Constitution Dock area of Hobart and just about anywhere else you'd want to walk to around Hobart actually. When you stay here make sure you take the time to soak in the architecture just taking a wander around Battery Point itself.
No more than a five minute stroll away is Hampden Road where you'll find Jackman & McRoss (the pastries are delicious, make sure you try the scallop pie), Da Angelo Ristorante (possibly the best Italian meal you'll find outside of Italy, we had dinner here twice) and a number of other dining options (Kathmandu Cuisine was delicious also). Make sure you sample the house made cannoli at Cibo e Vinotas (the flavor changes daily).
Despite everything being so handy it is whisper quiet around the local neighborhood and inside the apartment itself. The loft bedroom has magnificent views out over the water to the Tasman bridge and beyond and was a very warm and inviting space overnight. A nice hot shower made some of our early morning starts much easier for sure.
I think it would be very hard to find a better base for a Hobart getaway than Ted and Selina's studio. Thank you so much for hosting us for the week - we'd definitely stay here again if we found ourselves back in Hobart for a visit.
