Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
All in all a great experience, clear communication at all stages of booking and checking in . A small very tidy modern unit which suited our week long stay in Wellington. Handy to all services such as Queensgate Mall and bus and train station. Only a few minutes from Petone dinning options and experiences in Jacksons Street. On street parking was never a problem. Would certainly recommend and use this unit again.

Thank you for the great review! Glad communication was clear throughout and that the tidy, modern unit suited your week in Wellington. It’s good to hear the location near Queensgate, the bus and train station, and Petone dining worked well and that parking wasn’t an issue. We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to hosting you again.
