This is a superb apartment, very spacious, very central, lots of character, easy to walk anywhere in the city centre and to the city campus of the University of Auckland (which is where I was based), convenient for a great morning run along Tamaki drive combined with a swim in Parnell baths :), close to transport (you can easily wheel your bags to the main bus terminal - great for the airport for example).
Pete and Nic were fantastic hosts, very welcoming and super accommodating (always a text away from any help you needed). The apartment was super clean and had everything you needed for your stay (mine was a month's long stay, so I really needed a space to live, work, and entertain - this apartment allowed it all!). The kitchen was well equipped with absolutely everything you needed and more, the bathroom very spacious and there was plenty of storage space. There were some lovely and very welcome touches on arrival, including food supplies to keep you going (two bottles of very nice wine! drinks, milk, juice, breakfast cereals, coffee, etc.), lots of local information, current issues of magazines, yummy chocolates, etc. Reliable Wi-Fi and sky tv (though I didn't use much of the latter, my husband was very appreciative of the possibility to catch up on UK Premier League matches in the mornings! :) The hosts went out of their way even on the very last day and helped us with storage of our bags prior to departure. All in all, great experience, we really enjoyed our stay and this apartment made it very easy to settle into the local life quickly - we almost didn't want to leave. Definitely coming back to Auckland and hope to have the chance to stay here again. If you do have an opportunity to stay in this apartment, don't hesitate!
