We enjoyed our stay in Auckland. As mentioned in an earlier review, the area attracts people in emergency accommodation which felt unsafe at times. The apartment needs maintenance, especially the bed frame which has loose joints and the fan was unusable because of a rattle (we needed air conditioning/a fan due to humid Auckland weather). The sound proofing was good being next to a major motorway. We did hear some yelling/shouting due to weekend nights. Overall our stay had everything we needed and was ok value for money
