A charming apartment in a great location

We loved this apartment and appreciated the parking (although they aren't kidding, it is a tight spot for a small car!). We walked to everything from here! Wish they had given more info. on the building - seems historic / restored but that's just a guess. Highly recommend.

Excellent communication with the host, very helpful and provided useful recommendations. As mentioned by other guests the bedroom window is at street level so noise late at night did happen but wasn’t a big issue. The window is not on a Main Street. Coffee, milk and cereal were available for us, nice touch.

Excellent Auckland CBD apartment that was exactly as advertised and came fully stocked with everything you need to feel at home. Great location, close and walkable to all the downtown sites and transportation links. Multiple fans and windows that open help cool it down in the absence of air conditioning, and “light-filled” also includes at night, so those who prefer dark rooms will need to bring a sleep mask. Otherwise, a great apartment with parking downtown makes this a great value.

Great central city apartment

Apartment is in a great location with an easy walk to Spark Arena, Queen St, Sky Tower. Comfortable beds, great shower and just the space in general. Having the use of a car park was a brilliant bonus. All communications with Peter was friendly & welcoming. Easy check-in. Would definitely stay here again!
