We had a good stay at Howard's and Joan's house. Howard met us on our arrival; otherwise, we interacted with Joan. Both were warm, welcoming, and good sources of Wellington travel info. The room was clean and comfortable. Joan laid out a delicious assortment of breakfast foods each a.m. The house is very well located in the inner suburb of Brooklyn, on hills above the CBD. We enjoyed walking into town through Central Park. A bus taking just a few minutes is the other option. We wouldn't hesitate to stay with Howard and Joan on a future visit.
