    The kitchen served its purpose, but the elevators consistently malfunctioned during my stay. Very frustrating experience overall.

    helpful staff
    uncomfortable bed
    no atmosphere

    The staff were lovely and very helpful.

    During my stay, the bed was uncomfortably springy and the pillows were flat, which made for poor sleeping conditions. I noticed that the walls were quite thin, allowing me to hear conversations from the next room, which disrupted my peace. The surrounding area felt desolate, and we found ourselves Ubering everywhere due to the inconvenient location of the apartment.

    convenient location
    worn-down apartment

    Unexpected quiet in a busy city

    The location is convenient, very close to the city center, making it easy to explore Auckland. The staff, while varied in their English skills, were generally friendly and accommodating.

    Unfortunately, the apartment showed signs of wear and tear. chipped paint and a leaky shower detracted from the overall experience. issues with the key cards made accessing the apartment frustrating.

    roomy apartment
    separate bathrooms
    nice vibes
    tough parking
    poor availability

    I stayed in a two-bedroom apartment with my family, and it was surprisingly roomy and comfortable. The vibe was nice, and having two separate bathrooms was a definite plus! The only downside was the parking situation. it was pretty tough to find any. For the price, this place was a steal compared to others in the area.
