Mike·5·Oct. 2024· "From beginning to end this was a smooth and very pleasant experience. My initial enquiry regarding availability for the dates I needed was answered almost immediately by Stuart, which allowed me to go ahead with travel bookings. While I was only requiring a place for an overnight transit, Stuart was most obliging offering the room for the short stay. In addition he offered to meet me at the airport. It added a warmth to the arrival akin to staying with a friend. At the unit I met lovely Billy, the groodle, who instantly showed his excited welcome too! Stuart's unit is clean, bright and warm. The guest room has a double bed which I discovered that night was SO comfortable!! I slept through the night without waking! Toilet and shower were shared though never a problem having access as and when required. All very clean. It was great to have access to tea and coffee, and use of the kitchen during my stay too. A door key was provided so I could come and go when Stuart was out. The location was great, being in easy walking distance of a supermarket and just beyond that the centre of town. It was pleasant to prepare a simple meal "at home" that evening and enjoy social company over dinner. In his profile Stuart mentions he offers massage and after a day of travelling I availed myself of that luxury. It was a relaxing and respectful offering from clearly trained hands. Absolute bliss! While I was preparing to make my own way back to the airport the following day, Stuart had a gap in his work schedule and so very kindly dropped me at the airport. Honestly, Stuart goes above and beyond!! In summary my stay was less than 24hours. Initially arriving as a stranger, I can say the time staying at Stuart's unit was just like visiting a familiar friend. Totally relaxed and comfortable in every way. I would recommend Stuart's place and hospitality to others without hesitation. I definitely plan to revisit Launceston sometime soon. It's a city with so much to offer, and know I'll make Stuart's place my base for the duration. "
