Simon's place had everything that we needed in a self contained space. There is an assigned parking lot for the unit which is awesome as you won't need to worry about finding one every time. The large drying rack was handy for clothes that we couldn't pop into the dryer. We enjoyed watching Netflix as well. Location wise, short drive to Ponsonby Central which offered many food options at P120 parking (2 hrs free). A few minutes drive to New World supermarket with free parking as well.
