"We really enjoyed the space this accommodation offered and the central location."

8.0

Location was perfect for us and the accommodation had plenty of space for our family of 5 adults. It came with a car park which was great and the decor was unique which was nice.

Lots of stairs to climb with luggage.

"This is a great place to stay - central, well serviced and clean :)"

8.0

The location was very handy (Wellington CBD) which why it was booked. The host provided regular update emails - providing useful advice. There was plenty of hot water, and the heat pumps worked well.

Not too much to say, but felt the couches were a bit tired and lacked the comfort for relaxing.

"It's a shame, a bit more $ spent on the upkeep of it and it would be really nice."

5.0

The location was great. beds were reasonably comfy and the place was clean.

First, the access was terrible. From the allotted car park you had to carry your bags down three flights of outside stairs which were full of Pigeon poo and wet. I know you can't do much about the weather, but some discussion with the council or land owners to keep it cleaner would be good. Next was the three flights of upstairs to get to the apartment once inside the building, these were dank and dirty, not at all inviting! You really NEED to advertise that there are so many stairs and NO LIFT! it was extremely had for the eldest of our group. Then there was a small leek in the roof in the living area that trickled down the wall onto the floor, the sink did not drain properly, we swapped out one of the bedroom lamps for the one in the living area as the bedroom one was faulty. the couches would have been very nice once upon a time but while clean, are now very tired and staring to come apart. We will go somewhere else next time.

Location cleanliness and decor Very cool vibe and beautifully decorated... So handy to everything...buses,shopping waterfront and cable car Only thing though, it stated it sleeps 7 people but only beds for 5.....mattresses on floor for 6th person ...hard when we are over 65 years old

We had no idea we had 4 flights of stairs to climb with our bags....6 ladies between 65 and 77 years old,so was a big challenge Also please note,shower hose and nozzle in ensuite bedroom flops when water is turned on..so literally had to hold it with one hand while washing hair and body....please get it fixed as its not obvious that it's broken when shower not going.

The location was great

There was no internet. Grubby entry and stair. No lighting in potion of stair well and corridor you need a touch not good when your also struggling with bags. Cheap broken coat hangers, so you can't hang clothes. No sink plug hole covers, so you lose stuff down the hole. Blinds in the lounge need attention.

"Position perfect with decorative lounge area."

8.0

The location was perfect, right in middle of Main Street. The decorative painting on wall and loft roof was very original and impressive.

There was no lift and 3 flights of stairs. We like to eat in and there was not one oven tray or dish to be used in the oven. Knives were all blunt. No remote for bedroom heater and another remote needed new batteries. Could not get tv to work just as a tv. After we parked car, there were no instructions to get to accomodation. It was dark, it was raining and we had multitude of luggage. We walked a very long way and discovered next day there was a lift next to car park.
