The location of the apartment was great - close to Auckland CBD and an added bonus that there was a carpark included.
The apartment was clean enough but not to a high standard - fingerprints on windows and dirty/scuffed walls, dirty cushions on the couch to list a few things.
There was no scrubbing brush or dish cloth in the kitchen and no apartment extras - no spare rubbish bags (only the 2 in the rubbish bin on arrival), no salt or pepper or cooking oil, only 1 (or 2) dishwasher tablets. As we were staying a week I would have thought a few "essentials" would have been provided.
All bathroom drains were clogged and none drained (neither bathroom sink & neither shower). They did provide drain-o once it was requested but was put down to "building drain issues". The drain-o didn't help.
Upon checking in, we also realised someone was in our "designated" carpark (specific details that were provided by the owner on check in). There were numerous calls made and no one answered the airbnb contact phone number. A voicemail was left but a message via the airbnb app was the only way they got back to me. They told us someone was in the apartment park and to use a different one.
The location and layout of the apartment suited us well but I won't be staying at this apartment again.
