The flat is small but has everything you need for a 1-bedroom stay. The location is excellent - half a block from the train, a couple of blocks from the bus line, many restaurants, and shops. It is a short transit ride to the Auckland CBD (one train stop) and an equally short ride to Newmarket in the other direction, where there are additional restaurants, large grocery stores, a huge mall and a great pool and fitness center (Olympic Pool) which offers rates for occasional use. The flat needs a bit of attention - nothing major, but noticeable. However, Tim was incredibly responsive when we needed halp and attended to things very quickly. We would definitely stay here again.
