Peter was charming, informative and responsive. The directions were clear and we found his house with ease. The house is perched on a 45 degree slope about two thirds of the way up. It is serviced by an ancient stairway and a modern funicular. There is a code he provides and do not forget to enter star after the last number. He was there meet us, help with the funicular and give the rules of engagement.
The apartment has its own entrance and is attached to the lower portion of the house. It has private deck with 2 chairs. Sliding glass doors lead into a tastefully decorated room with a queen bed in the center. There is s small kitchen area to the left,stocked for breakfast. He even went out to buy butter. The bathroom is to the right. It is lean and clean, ergonomically designed for one person at a time.
WiFi was not available, in progress, but he helped us reserve a time on the car ferry using his internet connection. The internet in the cafe at Te Papa is excellent.
Finally, the view from the apartment to the Wellington Harbor is astounding, both day and night. It is truly a million dollar view and reason enough without the other pluses to rent the apartment.
