We stayed just one night (lucky to be in between other guests) and left early in the morning to catch the ferry but the apartment provided everything we needed. James was great at communication prior to the trip and he was happy for us to drop our belongings before check in so we could head over to Te Papa. While in a great location, it is on a busy intersection with continual traffic. This didn't bother my husband or two boys but I am a light sleeper but with earplugs it was fine.
