We stayed for only one night at Howard and Joan's "Brooklyn B&B" in Wellington. The house itself is a beautiful, historic home, and the appearance in-person definitely lives up to the photos. Brooklyn is a charming, very hilly neighbourhood that is closely situated to the city centre via a 20-minute downhill walk through Wellington's Central Park. Continental breakfast items are left out in the morning for guests to help themselves. Ample facilities and local information materials were provided. However, the stay did feel a bit more like an impersonal, commercial accommodation rather than the more intimate home or guesthouse stays that we have come to seek and cherish on Airbnb. We also were disappointed that our room was entered without our knowledge or permission to retrieve a teapot that we were using for only a couple hours in the afternoon. It is certainly a nice and well-appointed B&B building, and independent guests who will spend most of their time out and about in Wellington may find that it suits their needs just fine.
