Claire is lovely and accommodating. The studio is cosy and very comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay Location wise it's about 10-15min bus ride to Mount Wellington and if I'd had more time I would have done some walking - next time.
The bus stop is only a couple mins from studio. Buses run every two hours in/out of the city and the last bus back from the city on a weekday seems to be about 4.30pm. I didn't stay over a weekend so don't know the timetable for fri-sun.
