Clean and comfortable little unit.
Very clean and comfortable. Check in was easy. Location not far from CBD of Launceston. A bit of a stretch to accommodate 6 guests. The trundle bed is difficult to get out from under the single bed and not much space to set it up. Only 4 chairs at the dining room table.

Excellent quiet and safe location, close to city center and various restaurants as long as you have a car. The property itself was clean and tidy and very comfortable with all that you need for your stay, whether a short to medium term. Communication was always timing and prompt. Would definitely recommend for couples and / family of four / five.
