I couldn't fault this stay. Though Tania and Russell are relatively new to AirBnB they are really good. They have a wonderful property and the location for us was first class.
You are out of Wellington CBD, which is nice, but Parameta Train Station is about 1Km away (you could walk it). I used Porirua Train Station as it has loads of free parking and better service into the city. It is still only 5 minutes away by car. Takes about 20 mins to get into Wellington CBD and trains every 15-20 mins.
We stayed with them as we moved down to Wellington from Tauranga. We needed somewhere we could actually live and not just use for a day or two. It was great. They are very accomodating but they also respected our privacy. A good combination as we learnt a lot about the area from them.
We had washing & drying facilities which were important to us. The unit also has its own heat pump/aircon unit so that is brilliant.
The parking is great. We easily parked both our cars on site, very secure and right outside our entrance.
Porirua City is nearby and has a mall and all the shopping you would need without having to pay for parking in the CBD.
The apartment has a little deck outside. It has two chairs and a table. It is cute and you get great views of the inner harbour and sunsets are brilliant. Good place for a beer or a glass of wine.
The most important thing is that they listened to our feedback and they will only keep improving the property after each visitor. Which is great. We will definitely stay there again if we need more accommodation in the area.
There was some talk of them getting a BBQ set up, so that would have been great and we would certainly use that if we stay again.
