Susanne is a lovely host who truly was interested in helping me make the most of my visit. She even gave me a personal tour of Mt. Victoria and some of Wellington's neighborhoods. The room in Susanne's home is as nice as she is. It's a sunny perch tucked under a gable. Although it has limited space for spreading out your stuff, it's quite manageable if you're somewhat organized. The shared bathroom across the hall also has limited space for stuff. Instead there's a small table in the room for setting out your toiletries. I found I didn't need my whole complement of lotions in the bathroom, so this arrangement was fine. Susanne's home is in a very safe neighborhood and conveniently located. It's only a two minute walk to a huge supermarket and an eight minute walk to the train station. If you want old fashion person to person interaction and homey comfort, this is the place to be.
