Thomas's place was just what we needed. We came for a family event and it suited us to be right in the middle of shops and restaurants but at the same time, the apartment was completely quiet. It was clean, stylish, well equipped and furnished. It was a little daunting to arrive at 3 am and find the key box but Thomas's instructions were brilliant. The apartment block feels very secure and it is in a well-off part of Auckland. The apartment has movable walls in the bedrooms which we loved because you could open them to make more space. It does mean that if someone is up at night with jetlag (we were) they can wake up others as the light goes through the opaque walls. But we managed. Thomas was very helpful when we needed a second parking spot inside the building. We enjoyed the balcony and could walk to Howick beach (good for a walk but Eastern Beach is better for swimming). Two small recommendations - a mirror in the hall and a wall clock. A great stay and Thomas was a great host
