Elaine is a fabulous host and her place was wonderful. Elaine spared no detail, including everything you could need plus various welcome treats like a bowl of fresh fruit, milk in the fridge, and a handwritten welcome card. Arriving to a couple of chilled, local craft beers after a long flight was hard to beat. The location was fantastic as well, in the super cute Thorndon neighborhood across from the botanical gardens. A very short walk from the city too. I would absolutley stay at Elaines place again in the future. Thanks Elaine!
