ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE!!! The location was fantastic, and Emily always got back to us straight away with any questions we had. She even brought down a wheat bag for us when my mom came down with a cold. The apartment itself was really well equipped which was great for us as we decided to cook at home, and the cupboards were full of all the essential items (oil, s&p, herbs, pasta etc) which made it a real pleasure. However for those other little extra items, there is a new World Supermarket literally about 3 minutes walk away. The decor was beautiful, and the apartment was really warm with central heating.
We stayed on a weekend so it was free parking on the streets and i think there was a paid coupon system on weekdays but with the close proximity to everything I don't think you would need a car unless Wellington is part of a stop on a bigger road trip like it was for us. 100% recommend Emilys place and next time i'm in Wellington I will most definitely look to stay here again as for me it was the perfect air bnb.
