The apartment is very charming, cute, clean and perfectly located for walking to many great restaurants, music venues and shopping. There is a grocery store very close, which was great. For fun, I recommend visiting the maritime museum and booking a sailing. I was here on a lovely sunny day and was able to get some beautiful photos of the skyline and saw someone bungee jump from the bridge while we were sailing by.
The stairs to the downstairs bedroom are long and steep. I opted not to carry my suitcase down. The bedroom area is lovely and relaxing and the bed is very comfortable. I noticed street noise from late night party people walking by but it didn't bother me or stop me from sleeping.
The living room area did get a little stuffy without opening a window. There's a fan down in the bedroom and I recommend running it to help move cool air from the downstairs bedroom, upstairs.
I noticed a smoky, leathery smell when I came in. I could never identify the source. It might have been a cooking smell from an adjacent apartment. It didn't end up bothering me.
All in all it was just right for my Auckland weekend.
