Caroline was, thankfully, remarkably patient with my constant stream of emails and ever-changing arrival and departure plans. She always answered quickly, thoroughly and helpfully. She was so accommodating and in every sense of that word.

When I arrived, well after midnight, she was a model of efficiency showing me how to get into the building, around the flat and anticipating everything else I wanted to know, like the WiFi password. (By the way, the WiFi was extremely reliable, fast and strong, and I used the heck out of it.)

And, bonus of bonuses, she not only had a beer, some milk and some cereal for me. She had salmon and potatoes and asparagus! So thoughtful, tasty and very much appreciated.

I can’t recommend the flat and the location highly enough. It is within easy walking distance of where you want to be: the harbour-front, and Cuba Street, Dixon Street and Courtney Place. I found Wellington to be one of the very friendliest cities I’ve ever visited (and a great beer city as well!). Caroline set the tone for a great stay and I had a wonderful four days walking and exploring the neighborhood, stopping for a coffee here and a beer there. I’m not at all embarrassed that I didn’t do anything else. But, I know I will be back in Wellington before too long and I will definitely plan my visit around the availability of Caroline’s flat.

Thanks for your hospitality, Caroline, and a memorable stay!
