Dave's place was large and well located, across from the beach and walkable to lots of restaurants and downtown, plus right on the bus line to anywhere in Wellington. The street in front was a bit louder than anticipated, but the beach across the street was lovely and with the bedrooms at the back the noise wasn't too much for sleeping. The place was well priced for the location, but it was low-cost for a reason - it was somewhat grungy with some rotten food in the kitchen, not very clean dishes, some mold on the shower curtain, and could use a deep clean throughout. We're generally not too fussy, but the cleanliness was below our comfort level.
