I stayed in Hal's apartment for 5.5 weeks. The apartment is in a great location just off the main shopping street in Auckland (close to bus stops, ferry terminal, supermarket and lots of major tourist attractions). The place is very comfortable and stylish and is equipped with everything you might need. Hal kindly provided basic things such as tea, coffee, cooking oil, toiletries, etc and the towels/bed linen were very nice.
Hal was an amazing host during my stay - she was so welcoming and helpful. She gave me some great tips for things to do in Auckland and was very quick to respond to messages (eg. when toilet seat broke, she made sure it was fixed asap). As others have mentioned, the bar nearby did get quite noisy at weekends, however Hal has thought of everything and provided plenty of ear plugs! I would definitely recommend staying in this lovely little apartment (which is made even better by a wonderful host!).
