Beautiful place to stay for our 12 days in Sandy Bay/Hobart area. Lovely views across the river to enjoy our morning coffee. Really nice area and was very quiet so peaceful nights sleep. Could see bridge area from out front of the building so was great to watch the New Year fireworks from a quiet street as near end of cul-de-sac so no traffic. Had to park in street but that was not an issue as always found a park in residential street out front. Had everything we needed for a great stay, only thing missing for us would be a little coffee machine but got around this by taking our little Wacaco travel espresso maker so all good and they did supply instant coffee and tea bags aling with some other items which was nice. Would highly recommend this lovely little unit as close to everything in Hobart and surrounds if have a car but if not there is a bus down the hill that runs to town regularly plus some great walking to and around Sandy Bay Area if up to it. You do have to walk down two lots of outside stairs past main house to get to unit down back but we were ok with it and we are elderly just had to be extra careful after some rain. Communication was excellent as far as directions to property and obtaining key in lock box with code and welcome message plus information package inside and a lovely little welcome gift which was much appreciated. Thank you to all for a lovely stay we would definitely stay at View Studio Apartment Sandy Bay again if it was available.
