Recently stayed in Marion and Matt's apartment in Sandy Bay.
The good points....
Excellent location - walking distance to Wrest Point and also the Sandy Bay shopping strip (15 mins)
The apartment was immaculately clean.
Not so good points....
No air con...this will definitely be an issue in summer.
The apartment is small and located up narrow stairs
Only the bare minimum of everything was supplied.
One towel each for an 8 day stay
Two tea towels for an 8 day stay
Overall I would recommend Marion and Matt's place if you're sick of staying in hotels and looking to stay in a cool retro apartment.
