Nicola and Peter's place was lovely. It looks exactly like the pictures, it is in an excellent location and has great amenities (free garage parking spot-tight squeeze if you have a big car!, Netflix, Wifi, and washer/dryer). The apartment is in a quiet, residential alcove right in the heart of downtown. We walked everywhere-the ferry to Rangitoto is 5 minutes away and all the restaurants we went to were in a 5-15 min walk from the apartment. Nicola even accommodated an early check-in so we could rest after our long flight. Highly recommend!
