Ben's apartment is a strikingly beautiful space, with brand new bathrooms, comfortable beds, and a large, open kitchen-family room-dining room. There is even a washer and dryer. The kitchen has all the utensils needed to cook a meal or just make some coffee or tea. The deck/balcony is sunny and has great views. Note that the building does not have an elevator, so you have to walk up a couple of flights of stairs to get to the apartment. Ben provided information on the local Ponsonby neighborhood, which is filled with a variety of restaurants, shopping and a large supermarket very close by. He also has information about lots of things to do and see in the greater Auckland area. We highly recommend taking the ferry to Waiheke Island and spending the day there. All in all, a wonderful stay!
