Lovely room, private use of bathroom & friendly host. The apartment is across the road from a club so Friday & Saturday nights were very noisy & therefore hard to sleep as people gather on the footpath/road but I realize this is out of hosts control but just for future guests to be aware of. Minor issues - apartment often smelt bad, kitchen was always cluttered so unable to cook & host often has guests over which creates noise. Puppy is friendly & doesn't bark. Apartment is very secure & close to Auckland CBD.
