Disappointment in Davey

The property is tired and poorly maintained.The apartment was clean enough but shabby and in need of maintenance.The blinds were not operable and had to be removed. The 2nd bedroom, didn’t have an opening window so French door had to left open all night. Rusty outdoor furniture on the deck. Windows sills were rotten.The kitchen and bathroom worked and the linen clean..The shared laundry was derelict.

Home away from home

Is this 5 star? No, but I wasn't looking for 5 star. I'm looking for clean, secure, friendly, easy access. All boxes were ticked.We messaged from the airport when we were on our way, Jason met us in the driveway to show us the way. Even carried my case. Showed us the apartment, laundry room, car parking, wifi passwords, reminded us to log off any streaming accounts we used and pretty much left us to our own devices - happy with that. We arrived Easter Friday, so no shops open. With permission I organised an online delivery on the Thursday, and Jason put our order in the apartment - bonus points, and very grateful we could do that.IGA two streets away, bit pricey, but convenient location. The apartment was about 15-20 min from Hobart CBD, walking down was easy but back up the hills ... not so! (lol) but then there's Uber for that!!!We didn't get to do everything we want to in Hobart/Tasmania, I'll definitely visit again and if available I'd stay at the same accommodation. Highly recommend.Oh, the only thing ... toilet was situated between wall and shower screen, bit of a tight squeeze! But I think that's the only thing not to our liking!!

Nice Appartement

Had a good time here. We were 2 adults from Germany and specially enjoyed the two separated bedrooms with large beds. The flat offered everything you need in a nice and quiet neighborhood. For example the cascades brewery is only a short walk through the park away. Communication with John was super easy and he solved everything perfectly fast.

Great location, quirky styling

Clean & comfortable. Stairs are very steep and would be challenge for those with limited mobility or small kids. Beds were comfortable. Great location close to Hobart City, Salamanca, Battery Point and Sandy Bay. Some quirky decor made it a memorable stay.

Great place near town but not in town.

It was a lovely older apartment with plenty of room for the three of us. The owner's son met us at the apartment when we arrived quite late. There was breakfast provided for us which saved us the trouble. The apartment was very comfortable with a room each and a nice outlook. The stairs, which are mentioned in the listing, are steep but once you've been up and down them a couple of times they're fine. We were in the city a fair bit so staying just outside the town was handy, we walked down the hill and taxi-ed back up. For those fitter people, it'd be a great walk. Would highly recommend this property as an affordable, comfortable and gorgeous home away from home.

My sister and I took our 93 year old Mum on a holiday to Hobart. With 3 different sleeping areas, a good kitchen/lounge and parking outside the door it was just what we needed. Davey Street is so convenient and the best provisions store in Hobart is just in the next street.
