Sharon's place is ideal for exploring Auckland - walking distance to everywhere you would wish to go, as well as a stone's throw from some seriously good restaurants. The apartment was clean and quiet (as long as the windows were shut), and had everything you need to either just do tea or coffee or cook a whole meal. Sharon was very quick at responding to our questions and was as flexible as possible with the checking out time, which was great for us as we had a late flight. Access to the pool was a particularly good addition, as it was excellent weather and perfect for having a dip in after a hard day's sightseeing. I would highly recommend staying here.
