Mt Victoria, Wellington
I had a frustrating experience with the property managers, who had poor communication and were unclear about who to contact regarding flat issues. It took over a month to receive my bond refund, and I felt taken advantage of due to unexpected invoices at the end of the tenancy. On a positive note, the shower pressure and location were great, but overall, the cold winters and the property managers really detracted from my stay.
This house is in a great location, but it hasn't been maintained well. While it gets good sun out front, the back is very dark and damp, especially on the ground floor. The bedrooms vary in size, with two huge ones and one tiny one, and moisture was a problem due to the lack of proper extractor fans. Although it was renovated before we moved in, the quick paint job over the existing wallpaper led to peeling throughout the year. The landlord was very slack at responding to us, especially during plumbing issues, and only responded after we resorted to threats.
