Thinking about the new home setup

So, I'm getting closer to settlement now and part of that is now thinking about what I want the place to look like from a connectivity point of view.

I've stipulated what I need for each room and the lounge shall have two data points (one on each side) and each bedroom will have one. In hindsight, I wish had gotten more, but them is the breaks.

Given the designs of the house the ONT + networking gear will all be in a cupboard by the front door, meaning that the AP in that area will be completely useless. However, I have been doing some reading and am a bit of a fan of the Ubiquiti gear (will keep the FritzBox as a router for the mean time with the idea of updating to an Edge Router at a later point in time).

I intend on purchasing the following;

2 x Ubiquiti UniFi Switch US-8, 8-Port Gigabit Managed Switch (I appreciate I don't need managed switches, but would likely need this to power the AP below?)

2 x Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-IW, N150 (150Mbps) In-Wall Wireless Access Point

Has anyone had any experience with the In-Wall Wireless AP's at all? I like the idea because then I can setup one in the lounge downstairs and the study upstairs and get decent coverage of the house (perhaps a 3rd one upstairs as well later on)

I'm a bit of a newbie at this, so if anyone has any other thoughts, I'm interested to hear.
