Mark and his partner Ross have a lovely house up on a hill in the Aro Valley area of Wellington. It is a beautiful green quiet area but only a 20 minute walk to downtown. At the bottom of the hill there are cafes, restaurants and grocery stores. The "annex" is separate from the main house and has its own bath, a comfortable double bed, free wifi and privacy. I was welcomed into their home though too and felt very comfortable. We talked over a glass of wine on the first evening and I got great tips about what to do during my 3 day visit. On my last night they cooked a great meal of New Zealand lamb, wine and other treats for me and a friend of mine who was also in town ( we contributed to the grocery costs). This was my first airbnb experience and it was a great one.
