This was our first trip to New Zealand, and although we stayed in the Auckland CBD when we arrived, friends had recommended that we experience the Ponsonby neighborhood nearby, so we ended our month-long trip at Peter's Fabulous (self-contained) Apartment. It was indeed fabulous, exceeding our expectations and making it difficult to pick only one "Best" category, because all of them qualified as "yesses". The location, the privacy, the layout and tasteful furnishings, excellent internet and TV, and great shower.... we had everything we could have wanted. And we found Ponsonby to be charming and well-linked to other things we wanted to take in before we left, including many nearby choices for good meals out. All in all, a great value and a wonderful way to end our vacation. Thank you!
