Richard's apartment is a great place to stay in central Wellington - everything you would want to see is either walkable or easily reached by bus. Loads of great bars and restaurants nearby, and very close to The Papa (which is a must if you're in town). My room was very clean, comfortable bed and a little verandah - and even though it is really in the city, it was very quiet and felt very safe. Richard was super friendly and helpful, felt right at home!
