We used Owen's place as a place to lay our heads before an early morning ferry crossing so for that it was absolutely perfect in terms of value and location. It is a wee way up a hill so if you don't have your own car you'll need to Uber/Taxi. The parking is a bit tight, but that is par for the course in Wellington a city built on hills around a natural harbour. The area is safe and secure and close to the Karori shops but it is not walking distance to much. The flat is the downstairs unit of a two storey house that has been converted to have it's own access, kitchen and bathroom facilities, but you can hear a bit of noise from the house above, which was not an issue for us as we were not there very long, and simply used the house as a place to sleep. At the time we stayed there was no wifi or tv but the mobile network reception was fine.
