Location excellent, it is very special, and the view outstanding. But overall a very disappointing stay. I am reluctant to give a poor review, but 2 nights at well over $800 we felt it was not value for money. I do not mind paying this for a luxury apartment, but apart from the view, facilities were not luxury. The traffic noise was annoying. The beds were uncomfortable, single beds were narrow, in my opinion all beds needed mattress toppers. The apartment was clean, but bathrooms dated. We had been travelling for 4 days, so the washer and dryer was handy, but the switch on washer was faulty so took a while to get it started, and no venting for the dryer. The kitchen was very sparse, the Airbnb the instructions did say only tea coffee etc was supplied, there was no plunger coffee although a plunger was supplied, there was salt but no pepper. Terrible tasting instant coffee. No fresh milk just uht capsules. When an apartment is advertised as luxury a stay should really include some little extras. Food safety is not an excuse not to provide, most accommodation providers will supply handy extras. It makes guests feel welcomed and appreciated. When we arrived Wendy’s instructions were good, but there was no personal welcome and our car did not fit in the basement car park (2m height limit) with a Thule luggage pod on top, a larger suv probably would have trouble fitting under the limit. We had to unpack on the street, remove the pod and store it elsewhere. The front desk reception lady was not helpful, although the maintenance man Rob gave us a couple of solutions for our problem, thanks Rob. Wendy just told us about the 2m limited when I asked, I told her this may be a problem but she did not follow up with us. It seemed all too hard. The apartment was very cold when we arrived, no appliances were turned on at the wall - although we were expected, no electric blankets on the beds, and the tv needed some attention with cables before we could watch. Also growly words about the extra charges if any food was left or bins not emptied seemed a bit over the top, as there is a cleaning fee to cover things like this. Never have I been asked to empty my rubbish at accommodation in all my travels in nz and overseas. A quick chat to a couple of apartment owners in the complex confirmed our thoughts about the service we received and facilities provided.
