Angela and David were great hosts - welcoming, helpful and gracious in the manner in which they shared their apartment. I could not fault them, the facilities or the location. Just a short stroll to many great restaurants and cafes (Bresolin just up the road good for breakfast); easy to get to the city centre and tourist attractions (don't miss Te Papa); and public transport just outside the door. I had a hire car and just bought an all-day parking coupon and could always find parking in nearby side streets. I had my own room (with a really comfortable bed), bathroom and toilet so could be independent, but was always welcome to share the living spaces with Angela and David. Thank you both for making my trip comfortable and enjoyable!
