We stayed at Helen's home for 3 weeks while house hunting, after a long visit abroad. We chose this location since we have always had a great experience with Superhosts, but this is not the best option for a long-term stay.
There are several pros and cons to this location, and they are as follows:
PROS
•	Comfortable bed with nice linens
•	Convenient location with public transportation to Wellington CBD. The bus stop is a 1 minute walk from the house, and a 10 minute bus ride into town.
•	Lovely nature sounds in the morning
•	Functional kitchen for quick and easy meals. Includes a two burner cook top, microwave, pot, frying pan, dishes and cutlery
•	Kitchen included coffee, tea, and breakfast items
•	Functional bathroom with GREAT water pressure and heater
•	The space is neat and tidy
•	Adorable pup named Mac
•	Helen often asked if we needed anything and tried to make the kitchen a bit more functional.
CONS
•	Cold space during winter - The main kitchen/entrance was very cold and has no heating. The windows in the bedroom leak cold air from outside right to your head (where headboard is), but there is a space heater that warms up the bedroom fairly quickly.
•	Not very secure - Anyone from the house can go into your space at any time. There is no locked space for valuables.
•	Shared laundry - Should mention in the listing that the laundry is within the self-contained space in the kitchen, and that it will be accessed frequently during the week, often early in the morning or late at night.
•	Not much privacy - The host and tenant from upstairs walked into the kitchen/laundry area anytime they wanted, without giving notice (a knock while you are walking in is not notice), sometimes even late at night. We do not have access to the house from the locked door leading up, but anyone upstairs can come down into our space.
•	No comfortable workspace - The listing mentioned a laptop friendly workspace, but there is no comfortable space. We both work online, and in 3 weeks, we had to find cafes or else our necks and backs would be very sore.
•	Small meals area - There is a tiny table with tiny stools, which would be fine for a quick bite. Not comfortable for a proper sit-down meal.
•	No soundproofing - You can clearly hear everyone walking, talking, opening and closing dressers and drawers/moving a laundry horse around upstairs. Not all the time, but sometimes early in the morning and at late at night it was particularly noticeable due to less overall ambient sounds. The washer (especially the continuous beeping) and dryer from the kitchen can also be clearly heard from the bedroom.
Most of the cons are likely negated for short stays, so this review is more applicable if you are considering a longer stay.
