This is a great location, very clean, lovely bathroom. You are easy access to Lambton Quay through the public access elevator in James Cook Hotel just across the street. For light sleepers there is traffic noise mostly removed if you close the window. There is a major highway close by. Excellent value for location and cleanliness. While we were there there was someone on the same floor that cooked with very strong spices, we just open the window and put a blanket in front of the entry door and we were fine. I never saw this referred to anywhere else in comments, so it must just be coincidence. We loved Wellington and this apartment was in a great location, once you walk out on Lambton Quay you are two doors down from a supermarket and then acres to the cable car. See Te Papa, it is excellent and botanical gardens, the harbor and the lookout Mount Victoria. Mark the host was excellent.
