The location is excellent, 10 minutes walk to Britomart, and a similar distance to the Strand (or, I assume, Spark Arena). The only downside we found was the window coverings in the bedroom allowed lots of light in all night (mostly coming from a window in an adjacent building). The area felt safe to us 70-somethings, walking for dinner and returning after dark.
Priya was an excellent host, offering advice as to places to eat on our first night, when we arrived after 8pm.
