As described, the apartment's location was a key feature. located just near the fringe of the Auckland CBD. You can walk into the central part of Queen St in about 10-15 minutes or a 5 minute ride on various local bus options. The bedroom was well appointed with a very comfortable queen-sized bed. Ray provided me with very useful advice about eateries, bars, and other not so obvious local highlights. Overall, a good base to explore Auckland and sorrounds.
