We have stayed in North Hobart previously, this time we through ourselves into the pointy end of urban street life and stayed right in the strip. Yes there is some music and street noise to consider but the benefits were overwhelming - access to great food, taprooms, coffee, the State Cinema and a simple 20 min walk into main Hobart. The entrance is a bit quirky as is the layout but it soon felt like home. There were some WiFi issues and Marti was right onto it and kept us informed and online. Given it's location we found this excellent value for a roomy, clean apartment with comfortable bedding and all necessities for dining in if you wish with an eclectic grocer and bottleshop 10 mins on foot in Newtown (Hill Street Grocer). We had a very enjoyable week at Marti's place.
