Stephens Apartment close to the towncenter was a really nice place to stay and to do Sightseeing in Auckland. The most important sightseeing spots are within short travel time and the bus stop from the airport is also very close. Stephen is a very nice host and can give you tips where to go around Auckland. He also has hop on cards for the public transport (cheaper than buying single tickets) and Sky TV. Would highly recommend to stay in Stephens apartment!
