8/10 Good
"This was our favorite place to stay on our trip because each room had two separate bedrooms with doors, two bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a dining table, a washer and dryer in the room, and was within walking distance of many eateries and the cable car. Josie was very helpful with check-in. We would definitely stay here again if we go to Wellington in the future."
