We had a good stay at Ben’s place. The location was a highlight - just 2 blocks from Margaret Mahy playground, which we visited every day with our kids. We were able to walk to the tram, shops and restaurants also.
The place was clean, beds were comfortable, and the small kitchen had the basics for eating at home. The port-a-cot and few toys, books and puzzles provided were nice to have for our kids.
We were there Friday to Monday, and street parking was not hard to find except Sunday evening, so at least over the weekend it was no problem.
I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to be close to the city.
