This property could be perfect for the right group but unfortunately, it was not right for us. The house is one of the typical beautiful period Hobart homes. It has 5 bedrooms and 6 double beds. If you are a group of young people wanting to have a large house where you can spend time together this is a great house. Unfortunately, that was not our situation. The house originally would have had 4 bedrooms upstairs and one upstairs toilet. To make it better for Guests Kevin has ignored the period features and squeezed in another 3 bathrooms. This now means the main bedroom has an ensuite with no window so if you go to the toilet at night there is only one place for any smell to go. The plumbing has been fitted internally to the lounge room so don't suggest you flush while entertaining. One bathroom is directly off the entertaining area and the fourth bathroom plumbing runs on the inside of the front door. All this makes the house less than special.
The house also needed a really good cleaning. We felt Kevin had possibly done the last clean and it really still needed a professional thorough scrub.
The house itself is a 15-minute walk to the centre of town which is a good location except it is also on the busiest street in Hobart. A 5-lane one-way road with buses and trucks so the noise never really stops. We hired a bus and parked it in the street to come out and find the side mirror has been hit by a passing truck and was no longer there.
Kevin makes a wonderful breakfast in the morning. He has a kitchen that adjoins the house so you walk through the house into his eating area. This meant that if you wanted a hot breakfast it was great. We wanted to sleep so skipped breakfast. This now meant that we now had a kitchen that was bare. No sugar or milk or much of anyhting else as it is all in Kevin's kitchen.
In the end, we ended up staying in a noisy room that has a poorly built ensute and the house needed a good clean. Not what we wanted. If we had wanted to party and did not care it would have been fine.
