“Beautiful sandstone building, full of character and history with all the creature comforts.”
+Loved the location, allowing easy access to CBD and the wharf area. Property was a great mix of old world meets new world, acknowledging the buildings history. Laundry facilities were excellent. Allocated parking was located rear of property, which provided privacy and safety.
−Morning traffic, but it's expected being on a main road leading towards the CBD.

“Quirky but not again, especially in hotter months.”
+Quirky, well stocked with everything needed to be self contained. Heated floor in bathroom a nice touch.
−Location, getting off the main road was difficult up a narrow driveway. Offstreet parking was difficult even in a small car. Noise from road. No way of getting fresh air other than opening the window, which would’ve made the noise of traffic unbearable. Bedroom very hot, even in March, no aircon or fans only heaters. Wasn’t particularly clean, cobwebs in bathroom/bedroom and crockery dirty, although we did utilised the dishwasher to clean everything before use. Had to ring staff, who spoke limited English to get access code to get into property.

“Unusual accommodation that may not suit all but would delight those interested in history.”
+I loved the location, not quite in Hobart city but only 10 mins walk away. South Hobart is an interesting place, with quite a few original buildings still left (like this one). I loved that the basement apartment showed many signs of its age, and of the generations of people who had lived and worked in it, and I appreciated the care the owners had taken in renovating it. It still has a 19thc feel, though with a lovely 21stc bathroom and kitchen area. The modern heating was also much appreciated as the basement was very cool on first entry. There is also a reasonable grocery shop a short walk (3-4 mins) up the hill and around the corner, with a hotel bottle shop on the same route for those who, like me, like to self-cater.
−Personally, there was nothing much I disliked, but prospective guests do need to be aware that the original sandstone outside stairs by which one accesses the apartment are very worn and thus uneven. That's also the case in spots inside, where the flagstones have been differentially worn down after maybe 150 yrs of use. There were actually times when I felt like I was walking on a pitching small boat crossing the main room! Those with mobility or balance problems could find this a bit challenging. I found it an acceptable trade-off for the niche experience.

“Perfect hideaway”
+Such a lovely, rustic little space. I was a little worried about the lack of air-con because of the heat but you don’t even need it because the apartment is just below street level so is naturally very cool. I was also worried about the street noise as it is on a busy street but you honestly couldn’t even notice it. The host was so warm and accommodating. The bed was super comfy and the shower was a dream. I will 100% be staying again in future !!

“Great place to stay, would definitely recommend and would happily stay there again.”
+Great space, cosy and had everything we needed.
−Pretty tight car park if you have a bigger car. Also would have liked a lock on the downstairs door for increased feeling of safety.
