We rented the apartment in Wellington for 8 weeks and had an overall positive experience. The hosts were super friendly, always reachable, and very helpful, which made our stay much more enjoyable. The apartment looked exactly like the photos, which was a pleasant surprise. It’s conveniently located just 10 minutes by car from Wellington's city center.
Since we stayed during the winter, we had some challenges with heating, but this seems to be a common issue in New Zealand with older properties during the colder months. Additionally, we had to spend some time cleaning at the beginning of our stay, as the bathroom and especially the kitchen were not as clean as we had hoped.
Overall, the apartment is a great choice if you're looking for a nice place close to Wellington's center, and the friendly hosts make the stay especially pleasant.
