Jackie has created an immaculately clean and impeccably presented space in which to stay while visiting Napier. Cooking facilities included a microwave and electric frying pan. There was also access to a washing machine and dryer, which was a Godsend seven days into my travels. I found her to be responsive and generous as a host. Breakfast was supplied in the form of cereal and milk only, however, when I asked for bread and nut butter, it was promptly delivered to me. A little touch that I appreciated was a lavender spray for the pillow.
The house itself is modern, in a quiet and safe neighbourhood. The studio has its own entrance. As it is some distance from the City itself, you do need transport. I was reliant on buses, which are rather infrequent. To the best of my knowledge, there were none on the Sunday I ventured out. The Uber service, although minimal, I found to be efficient to take me to and from the centre of the City.
I would happily recommend Jackie as a host, and her studio as a comfortable place to stay.
