The main reason I chose this apartment was because I have family living within walking distance. It is in an excellent position for great restaurants, a large supermarket across the road as well as the bus stop to the city. If you are fit and enjoy walking, with a map, you can even walk to the Zoo, city and other interesting places.
The apartment was well set up for cooking, BBQ on the large patio and a very comfortable bed. Although being on a main road, the apartment is at the back and very quiet. I will certainly consider going back when next visiting in Auckland.
