We have enjoyed our stay here very much. 9/10.
The place is very clean and spacious. The only shortage is it being a little bit hard to find. The interval of the bus nearby is around 30 minutes so you should probably be aware of its schedule instead of walking there and wait 20+ minutes. If you rent a car it would be perfect. It is about 10 minutes drive to the Lower Hutt central area.
We lived here as a mid-stop before we move into our new rent in New Zealand. The hostess was very responsive and nice when we arrived for leaving us a key under the doormat.
Also when you leave the house, make sure you close the window since the environment nearby is perfectly natural and you don't want to find bugs or insects on your bed. Other than that everything is cool.
Overall it is a very cost-effective place if you are traveling with family. We didn't get to see the host but I figure it would be fun if our kids can meet and play together. I am very thankful that Jessica is willing to accept us, a family from China, to live in her lovely house during this special time. For Other people who may not understand what I am talking about it is in 2020 February after 20 days of the outbreak of CoronaVirus in China. We moved from Shanghai to San Francisco to Wellington. Although we have long past the incubation period before we apply for Jessica's place but I was fully prepared for any cancellations. Luckily Jessica shared her house with us, saving us from spending a fortune to live in expensive hotels during Wellington's busiest tourist season (still not sure what event is taking place but hotel rate is sky-high in February)
I can recommend anyone who is planning to travel to Wellington near Lower Hutt area to live in Jessica's house.
