A beautiful apartment that really is an art studio, though you have to look hard past the elegant furniture and soft rugs to notice it. Spacious and tidy, with plenty of creature comforts like plunger coffee, reverse cycle air conditioning, lots of throw rugs. The breakfast was a selection of cereals, croissants, and preserved fruit.
In the bathroom the shower had excellent pressure, the toiletries from Forest & Bird smelled wonderful and the plush white bathmats were the thickest pile I've seen in a bathroom.
Staying as I was for more than a week, Teresa took good care to make sure I had all I needed, changing the sheets and regularly emptying the bins.
The view was a lovely end to each day, and the lack of neighbours to the rear meant the curtains could be open and it still felt private.
The hosts were sociable and good for a chat when occasionally we happened to be both outside. I hope I get to stay there again, it's definitely one of my favourite places in the Hutt region.
