Janine was very welcoming and friendly on our arrival. The house is cosy and homely. Despite the roaring wellington winds we were wonderfully warmed by the gas heater in the lounge. If you like older styled houses then this should suite you. I wouldn't recommend this for groups of more than 5 adults as it could be a bit of a tight squeeze. The back garden and raised deck are a great feature for sunny afternoons/evenings outdoors. Parking is a perennial problem in older wellington suburbs such as this home so it's a lottery to get a convenient parking space on the narrow road, then the little climb to the house from the street. Overall we were very happy with the location and the general feel of the home.
