"Leafy Town Pad" was so far the best Air BNB I have stayed in! Nina kindly let us store our belongings in her storeroom as we had an early flight. When we did finally get back to the apartment (There is so much to see [eat and drink!] in Hobart) we were greeted with delicious jam, freshly baked bread, a yummy chocolate and a sun-drenched living room where we got to unwind in tranquility after a long day.

The views from this apartment are fantastic. You are right near a stream ("The Cascades"), the bedroom has an amazing view of Mt Wellington, and you are around bushland. Nina's garden is also quite cute, too!

South Hobart is a cute area. Amazing cafes, gourmet supermarkets (our pick: Salad Bowl) and the Cascade Brewery are all in walking distance. One morning we took Nina's gorgeous Kelpie Stella for a walk along the Rivulet track to Pigeon Hole, an amazing Paddock-to-Plate cafe (they source all their ingredients from a nearby farm). She is such a smart dog - she lead us all the way home!

The pad itself is clean, fully self contained and a relaxing place to wind down and escape the hectic city life. We appreciate the fresh eggs and milk - we cooked a beautiful breakfast on my boyfriend's birthday! I wish we stayed there longer - I would have loved to spend a couple of days by the big sun-drenched windows getting lost in a good book.

Many thanks for your hospitality Nina, we will be back! xx
