This is a great flat to explore Auckland from!! The flat is about a 5-10 minute walk from Ponsonby road where there are a ton of shops and cafes and restaurants. You can also walk to the waterfront (Ferry Building) in 30 minutes which I did on my way to Waiheke Island.
Plus: The bedroom and the living room are both very spacious. The bed is super confortable and the en-suite bathroom would make an upscale hotel jealous.
Plus, the view is great from the living room. I got the treat of seeing a double rainbow on my last day as rain showers passed over the city.
