The apartment is absolutely beautiful, just like the photos! We only stayed two nights but it would also be a great place for a longer stay, as its really spacious and comfortable, with great cooking facilities. It's also convenient for getting into the city centre by bus or on foot (25-30 minutes walk). Louise was extremely helpful in answering our questions before we booked and also in keeping in touch to confirm our arrival plans. She and her husband met us on arrival and were always available in the main house if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend Louise's place for a short or long stay in Auckland!
