We stayed over a week in this apartment. The view is great, the wifi worked well, and we could easily get to Upper Hutt & Wellington with a car. It is an older home so noise from the main floor travels easily through the ceiling of the apt. The owners were also doing construction on the front of the house so there may be some noise from that, but they were generally respectful. We tried to open a window every day to air it out. The kitchen is compact and there is no microwave. The TV is not connected to live channels but is set up to play discs. Overall it may be better suited to short stays or those who are just looking for a place to sleep for the night.
