Introduction
Located about 30 minutes drive away from the Hobart international airport in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, the Home In Brighton Hobart isn't a hotel, though it's listed on hotel booking sites. The Home In Brighton Hobart is actually an entire house, rather like an AirBnB short-term rental stay, a 3-bedroom 2-bathroom home that's cozy and fully equipped.


Ambience
Ambience at Home In Brighton Hobart is quiet and peaceful, as the plot of land it sits on is surrounded by 3 other privately-owned units. The area is a relatively quiet urban suburb, if not for the ongoing roadworks during our visit, which fortunately, was only during the day.


Room
Rooms at Home In Brighton Hobart are clean and comfortable, each of the 3-bedrooms having comfortable beds and large wardrobes. Each bed has an electric mattress warmer. The 2-bathrooms are clean, and I appreciate the powerful heating lamps. Sufficient toiletries and towels were provided.


Food
Food at Home In Brighton Hobart is non-existent, as it's a regular house. Fortunately, the kitchen and pantry is fully stocked with cooking utensils and condiments, enabling us to cook our own meals. The nearest eating places are in the nearby towns, which you'll have to drive to.


Service
Service at Home In Brighton Hobart is good. Host Thomas ensured the place was clean and well-stocked with amenities, and was responsive. Equipment within the house was functional, and we likewise ensured we cleaned the place before we left.


Facilities & Activities
The facilities and activities at Home In Brighton Hobart are decent. There's cable television and board games, as well as some light reading materials like magazines. The wi-fi was fast and stable, and the separate washer and dryer was most welcome. The Home In Brighton Hobart is among the best short-term rental stays I've experienced.
