Great!! Grace is a superhost - always quick/easy/positive coms. I was there three nights. My experience is.... it's quiet: on the third night Cuba Mall was in full-on mode (rowdies, amplified buskers, etc) but inside the apartment you couldn't hear any of it. It's really warm: it was ugly-cold in Wellington during my stay but the room came up to T-shirt temp in 20 mins. Internet is fine (I held video meetings and did university assignment grading and it never missed a beat). Facilities are absolutely as advertised - shower is xlent, bed very comfy, soft carpet underfoot - all stuff seems new/modern. What Grace doesn't really mention is how really cool the laneway is... seriously (or maybe just me??) but Pegasus Books (one of the better secondhand bookshops you will find anywhere is 5 seconds walk from her door (and open til late in the eve), a really good gelati joint a few steps further, Mother of Coffee Ethiopian restaurant ... you pretty much have to walk through their tables at the bottom of Grace's place.... that stuff is what Wellington (and esp Cuba Mall) is all about. You can walk to the waterfront in 10 mins. Hands-down my go-to place next time I'm in Wellie. My experience (including me coming and going at pretty odds hours) is that Grace and her partner are super low-key and very relaxed hosts. Honestly - VERY easy place to stay at
