Wendy's house is amazing and our whole 4 days stay in Wellington was magical!
Her home is warm, cozy and very comfortable. The room has access to a balcony with a great view of the harbor. Its a treat to wake up seeing the Wellington sunrise there. The bed is warm (still wanting to ask Wendy about which electric blanket she use) and comfortable. You have private access to the toilet which is very modern and better than some of the hotels we've been in. The room and the whole house is very clean. You can really see Wendy's character and intellect in the way the interior was designed. You can see with how the towels, linen and toiletries were arranged that Wendy will strive to make your experience memorable.
Wendy as a host is superb. We had a lot of things to do and people to meet during our stay that we didn't get to talk much, but from the few moments we see each other, she made us feel welcomed and safe. She is very happy to give you all the information she knows about the city. She's also got amazing, talented, and based on the art works displayed, artistic kids. Our privacy was also respected and we did not encounter any problems.
As for the location, any Wellington streets could sometimes be hard to maneuver for less experienced drivers, so be wary. If you choose to walk, the nearest bus stop is just around 500 meters away and Wendy is happy to help you with instructions how to get there. The house is near enough the city center for convenience, but far enough to give you the feel of quiet and tranquility.
Overall, a superb experience for our first airbnb stay. Would highly recommend it to anyone and would love to do it again.
