You won't be disappointed at all if you stay at Frances's apartment - and Frances is an excellent host; friendly, helpful, communicative.
The apartment is great for a two person stay - nice and comfortable and has all that you need for an enjoyable stay (pretty much a home away from home). A private garden/courtyard area off living/kitchen area is a great place to spend in the evening unwinding. The apartment is in a great location and is quiet, close to nearby amenities (a private walkway from the rear carpark has you up to the hustle and bustle of restaurants, dairies, bottle store, shopping, and bus-stops in just a few minutes). If you want to go further a field and explore access to motorways is nearby and easy to navigate both coming and going. The added bonus is that you have two carparks available to you - which is a bit of a treat in Auckland. Given the opportunity to stay again - we would definitely book again, and would highly recommend Frances's place. Make a booking - you won't be disappointed at all.
