The location was excellent. We were able to walk to the Airbnb from the cruise ship. It is in a residential area of Auckland with lots of high rise buildings which takes a bit to get used to. It's not a pretty area but convenient, an easy walk to Briitomart, Queen street and the ferry terminal. Lots of take away restaurants nearby. large grocery store is close by. There is no oven but a stove and microwave. Traffic is noisy from the apartment. The bathroom is clean with a large shower. Beds are comfortable and sheets and towels are good quality. Overall this apartment worked well for us.
