Kat’s place was in a great location. There is a large grocery store a 5 minute walk away. There are several buses that go to the city from just a 3 minute walk away. On weekdays, there are multiple buses that go directly to each University of Auckland campus. There’s even a CityHop carshare vehicle 15 minutes away. The best part is being close to so many bushwalks right in the neighborhood, within walking distance.
