Julianne's place is located on the third floor of a small complex facing the ocean. It's an older building but the unit has been recently renovated and decorated in a trendy manner. The building and outside area felt safe, despite there being an abandoned youth hostel next door. We did not use the garage as our SUV rental didn't fit in it, but it was tidy and suitable for a small car. The bathroom and shower were tidy and had great water pressure, and the kitchen was well appointed (though we didn't cook during our stay). The bed was too soft for our liking and it should be noted that the two twin beds (which we did not need as it was just two of us) are not separated from the 'master' bedroom by a wall - you walk past them to get to the bathroom. Overall, this was a newly decorated place, comfortably located within walking distance to Napier town and the beach, but not extremely high end. We had a very pleasant stay.
