Good little place. Quiet and was central to lots of things. It was smaller than we expected but was fine for a few days.
You can easily walk to Kay Rd which has great places to eat and shops. Also the city and the museum are close. There’s a countdown about 15 mins walk away.
It’s also a 20 min walk to Ponsonby which is great for dining and local bars.
It’s basic with supplies, so bring some oil, salt/pepper etc. The apartment block was okay, felt a little tired and needed some more care, but in general fine and felt safe.
