We enjoyed our stay in Simon's apartment, and appreciated that it is central with a carpark - fairly unique in Auckland! The carpark is secure and covered, too. Simon is a great host, and he added welcome little touches that we enjoyed. It's an easy walk to the supermarket, bars, restaurants, downtown Auckland, the Viaduct, and close to motorway access north and south. The apartment itself is secluded, quiet and private. Although we didn't use them, there are a pool and gym facilities, too. Check-in / check-out are simple.
