Our first visit back to Wellington post-Covid (4 years), and after an exhausting week spent with family for Xmas, my partner and I needed to book a place to explore Wellington for the remainder of our time there, just for ourselves. Marys property fit the bill. It's compact yet never feels small, particularly with a high ceiling emphasising the sense of space; in fact kudos to the designer for how it's all been set out.
I'm a Wellington expat, and even tho I last lived there 25 years ago, the last place I lived in was an apartment just at the other end of that block of Tory St. Downtown Wellingtons flat geography means it's never really more than an easy 20 minute walk to any part of the CBD. Te Papa and the waterfront is about 3 mins stroll away. There's an abundance of restaurants and bars at your doorstep.
Maria and I would not hesitate to stay at Mary's apartment again during a future visit and highly recommend it to all interested.
