We felt right at home and were able to relax straight away. It is a central but quiet loacation with easy motorway access. Communication was easy and Marcus was very responsive, there was always an answer within 24 hours. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and well-appointed for a short or extended stay. The front room and deck have a beautiful view overlooking the back garden (which is immaculate), and the outskirts of Auckland. The bed is so comfortable I realized I needed a new mattress at home. The water pressure was excellent, the water heater was large enough for two people to take reasonable length showers, and the wi-fi was excellent. Parking on the street was always available right out front. Marcus and Nicole were attentive without being invasive or overbearing. Their two cats would come by and say hello if we had the sliding/folding door to the deck open. This was an outstanding stay all around, we will definitely be booking again the next time we are in Auckland
