Patrick made us feel right at home and gave us some good pointers on the area. The apartment was just as described... neat and modern, kitchen very practical, comfortable beds and lounges.
The location is (in my opinion) perfect for exploring inner Auckland. The Viaduct area is obviously a work-in-progress, but there are so many good bars and restaurants, short walk in to Britomart, and you're right on the water away from the hustle of the streets.
Thanks Patrick, I don't think we'd bother looking for somewhere else on our next trip to Auckland.
