We had a lovely time in Wellington! The apartment was nicely furnished and well equipped making it a good base for exploring. Kate was very kind letting us check out late (5pm) as I had a bad cold and our flight was not until the evening. However, there were a couple of things we were a bit disappointed about, in particular the cleanliness of the apartment. When we arrived there were dishes in the dishwasher, dirty laundry in the machine and old food on all of the shelves in the fridge, the tiles and carpet had also not been cleaned. The wardrobe light was broken during our stay which meant that it was on all night which was quite frustrating. Also having all of the hosts personal items in the apartment (bedroom, bathroom etc.) meant that it felt a little too personal! As guests pay similar prices to a hotel I think this could definitely be improved for a better holiday experience. It would be nice to not have to have cleaned up when we arrived and have had a clear space to keep our things. Overall though we managed to have good time despite these small problems.
