Wonderful space in a renovated historic house. The owners have taken great pains to make it a comfortable, even luxurious, stay. The master suite had a lovely sitting area, and the second bedroom would be perfect for kids. Central Hobart is about a 15 to 20 minute walk away, so the location works well if you don't feel the need to be close to the central waterfront or business district. We didn't explore Sandy Bay, so can't say anything about the more local area. The hosts were very welcoming, providing both an introduction to the history of the home and to restaurants and other facilities in the area. One of the nicest places we've found through Airbnb.
