Michael has created a big city boutique hotel room experience - with a concierge and parking - in Hobart. While Michael is not a concierge in his professional life he has definitely elevated the host standard. Anything you could need for a stay in this listing is there - warm fleece robe, slippers, high quality toiletries and an honor bar. If there is anything that you need and it is not available, Michael will either offer to get it for you or tell you exactly where it can be found, how much it will cost, and who to talk to when you get there. He is a charming man who respects your privacy. I appreciated that he messaged me a few times during my stay to find out if I needed anything. The kitchen is amazing and so well equipped that some evenings I choose to stay in and cook rather than venture out to a restaurant. The bathroom - white marble with grey veins - is an experience in luxury and good taste. There is good water pressure from the rain shower head, as well as a hand-held wand. The washer and dryer have been seamlessly incorporated into the bathroom design. Michael is a charming man with a great sense of humor and a tour guide's knowledge of where to go, where to eat, what to see and how to get there in Hobart. The Doone Kennedy Hobart Aquatic Center - named for Tasmania's first female Lord Mayor - is a comfortable 10 minute walk in one direction or a hilly "what was I thinking?" 20 minute walk in another direction. They have casual rates, a workout area with cardio, free weights, exercise classes and an Olympic size pool. Just remember to bring your own lock - one of my "duh!" moments where Michael was able to assist. Be sure to visit MONA - the Museum of Old and New Art. Go early by ferry (choose the Plush Pit seating), view the exhibition and then take the ferry back to share your take on this unique experience. Unfortunately all this comes with a price. The listing is located very close to a busy, heavily traveled motorway, so if you are around during the day (and why would you be?!) you will hear lots of road noise. And Tassies are very fond of their gas pedals; they are still getting acquainted to the brake pedal - so be careful walking. Fortunately around 6:30 | 7 o'clock at night, the sound and the traffic drop off dramatically. I envisioned Michael standing out on the main road asking drivers to keep the noise level down. :) Lastly I had the pleasure of watching Michael prepare for the next guest. Everything on the bed was stripped off and sent out for professional cleaning while the mattress was being rotated and flipped. Michael looking dapper in a suit and industrial gloves scrubbed everything else until it sparkled. Very reassuring for a clean freak like...
