We really enjoyed our stay in Scott & Motoko's apartment. We liked how well set up it was. I had no trouble cooking dinner - there is even a nice sharp chefs knife. We stayed there in the middle of winter with our baby and it was terrible weather but the apartment was very warm. The location is great. It's just 5 minutes drive or a quick walk to all the delights of Miramar and so close to the beach at Worser Bay. It is easy to come and go from with its own separate access from the street. The apartment gets lovely afternoon sun but is quite shady in the morning. It was a bit musty smelling (as so many basement apartments in Wellington are) but there is a dehumidifier to use, which helped. This wouldn't be a problem in the warmer months. Scott and Motoko were great to communicate with and so friendly and helpful - even supplying toys for my baby. Thank you so much!!!
