"We only stayed at this property for one night so we didn’t get to use most of the amenities, but the location worked well for our needs (in a quiet neighborhood but just a short drive to restaurants and shops). "

Comfy stylish Central Wellington studio

10/10 Excellent

"Perfectly appointed efficiency apartment, in a great location in easy walking distance from grocery store, coffee shops, and public transit, with off street parking. Hosts are a lovely couple who live upstairs. Very friendly, but not at all intrusive: we were welcomed with fresh garden produce and left with extra special help at the airport. Can’t recommend highly enough!"
