Brendan's apartment is exceptional - a view from every room, powerful hot showers, great selection of herbs, seasonings and cooking oils, cotton towels and linens, wonderful lap pool. The apartment is walkable to much of Auckland, a few minutes to the supermarket, across the street from a park - short walk to downtown, wharfs and Ponsonby. There's also a convenient parking space. Brendan and his team are gracious and helpful and made us feel so welcome. All around fantastic stay.
