We usually don't stay at places with no reviews, because of previous, not very pleasant experience, bu Jesse's place was an ultimate jackpot!
The place is super private, with private parking space in the gated parking lot just steps of the apartment. Private balcony is opened to a beautiful greenery, big windows let heaps of sunlight in, you immediately feel like at home. A little bit of noise from the motorway is effectively muted by grown trees and when the windows are closed, you hear only silence.
Amenities are as described, after a month of camping we really enjoyed strong hot shower, the towels were one of the most fluffiest we had a chance to use during our travels.
We didn't use local transportation to Auckland CBD, bud had friends come to visit us and they were perfectly happy with the ferry and buses, the location is really very central.
Great deal for the money. Would definitely stay again, when we return to New Zealand.
