Overall our stay was lovely! The surrounds are beautiful and the apartment is very close to bus lines and an easy walk to ponsonby etc. if you are able to take on hills. The apartment itself was fairly comfortable, though during our stay the bed was very wobbly and back door leading onto the balcony does not lock. It gets quite hot and stuffy on a warm day, but you can easily put on the fan and open up the balcony door to cool down. BYO tea and coffee!
