I had a great time at the apartment. The host arrived at the agreed time and took a minute to show me around the apartment, and asked whether I had any questions; she was very pleasant and helpful. The place was clean and well-stocked; plenty of supplies provided for a stay of a week or two. The building itself was very quiet; on weekends there was sometimes some noise from the building visible from the balcony, but it wasn't really bothersome. The neighbours are all very friendly, which was nice.
The building is in a great location. Many good restaurants and useful shops are very close by; I highly recommend Scullery on Karangahape Road for coffee and breakfast, and Le Garde-Manger on Queen street for any meal. There are many bus stops nearby, and I found it very convenient to get to any part of the city.
Overall I was very pleased with my stay. I would happily stay again any time.
