Hello!
I stayed with Bev only for 5 days, short trip to Wellington. I enjoyed my stay very much! She is an amazing and caring host, fast to answer the messages, and helps whenever she can. I came to Wellington around 4:30pm and at the time I was in the CBD, it was dark and I still had to take another bus to her place. She offered to meet me on the way, so I won't be wandering around searching for a house.
The house is beautiful, very clean and pleasant to the eye, well-decorated and nice subtle floral scent. The room is very clean and comfortable as well, even though it is a little bit chilly in the house at this time of the year, which will be fixed soon as Bev will install a heating system in the house. Yet, I had my heating blankets and a heater, so I have no complaints. Also, there were cookies, little snacks and water on my table - very nice and caring touch. The next day I was treated to a huge choice of food for breakfast, muesli with yoghurt/milk, toasts with jam, croissants and more. Bev was also asking every day about the time of breakfast, in case I want to sleep in or get up early.
I was provided with towels, shampoo and shower gel (that smelled amazing) and didn't have any issues with taking a shower very late at night, so there was no time clash, but actually, bathroom was never busy ;) The house is at very quiet location, no cars on the street even.
The only two things I had issues were (Transportation-wise):
1. You have 2 stops close to the house, but there are almost no buses during weekends there, so you have to walk to the main street - ~10 mins.
2. Be careful with cash. If you're staying for longer than several days, I'd suggest buying a Snapper card for easier transportation, as bus drivers are not really keen on your $20 notes :) or better have lots of coins
I had no problems staying at Bev's place, and I also enjoyed our late evening talks before sleep, sharing stories and stuff. I'd definitely recommend staying here if you want a cozy and home-like stay. If I will come to Wellington again, really want to stay with Bev again!
