I have pondered how to write this review.
The studio is spotlessly clean and more than adequate for a nights stay.
The rules that the host has put in place do not create a relaxing atmosphere, ( take shoes off as soon as you enter the room, put all dirty washing in a net washing bag, wipe down shower, take rubbish to large bin ect) they do not take into account of the location of the studio. There are13 wooden steps to walk down to this place which makes taking shoes on and off when arriving and leaving with multiple bags and rubbish difficult.
The communication became frayed very quickly when I responded to an email sent asking me what my travel plans were, and was accused of being rude, I asked what did she need to know? As I didn’t understand what she was asking. It turned out she wanted to know if I needed a park, which I did.
On arrival I was unable to find the advertised park, I walked down to the house but there was no response, as I’m not from Wellington I’d assumed I was lost and at the wrong address.
I sent a quick message stating I could not find the park.
We then drove to find a safer place to park our car and work out an alternative accommodation when an email came through to “park my the bin”
We then decided to drive back up the hill to have another look to see if we could find the place. It turned out there was a car in the park that had now been moved. If she had responded “sorry just moving the car” we would have felt less lost.
On the way we stayed at a motel for the same cost that offered friendly hospitality.
