(+) Well-equipped apartment, thoughtfully decorated - probably makes for some nice Instagram picture surroundings. Just a short walk to the buzzing center of Auckland. Room can be fully darkened with no-see-through curtains.
(-) Overall too much design, too little functionality for our taste. Our room and the shared bathroom had very little storage surfaces or space in general. Kitchen and utensils were mostly unclean and no joy to use, which is probably due to the first need-to-know down below 👇🏻
(!) Less of an Airbnb and more of a boutique hostel. We weren’t aware that we would be sharing the apartment ONLY with (total of four) other guests, the host doesn’t live there.
Also: the shared bathroom is „connected“ to the upper lounge/kitchen through a large „hole“ in the upper wall. You can hear every noise made in the bathroom when sitting on the sofa and you’ll know they can hear you when you’re on the toilet. Personally made us feel rather uncomfortable. If you are someone more private, and don’t care about the kitchen anyway, we suggest considering the flat‘s room with an en-suite bathroom instead of the shared one.
