We stayed for five days and nights at Kev's place while we explored Hobart and Tasmania. The location was Awesome! A short walk down to the Salamanca market area. A short walk (10 - 15 minutes) to the CBD and the the Wharfs where you can pick up boat tours to Port Arthur and MONA. Also the City Information office is only a short ten minute walk (they are super helpful arranging tours, rental cars and itineraries).
The beds were really comfortable. And you've got to soak in the stand alone soaking tub at the end of a long day of sight seeing. Really Awesome.
Also don't forget to walk the 100 meters to the local pub. It's about as authentic as you can get.
