"The concierge was super friendly and soo helpful giving advice on restaurants, attending to a slight issue with our aircon which was resolved immediately! It is the perfect location for walking around Wellington and a very reasonable price. We had a deluxe two bedroom apartment which was perfect for our needs. I would definitely stay there again !!"
