We had a great stay at Val's place. It's down a quiet ROW so no traffic noise and no noisy neighbours!
It was very comfy, clean and tastefully decorated, with all the amenities you'd want to find at home (well kit-out kitchen, dining area and lounge, as well as spacious bathroom and bedrooms with comfy beds).
Val's place is also a stone's throw from the main street (Jackson St) so handy to everything. The train station's about 15-20mins walk and so handy for taking the train into the Wellington CBD (about 5mins by train).
We would definitely stay here again as it ticked all the boxes for us as a home away from home.
