Sky blue is in a great location, very convenient for the Takepuna downtown area and literally a minute from the beach. Highly walkable - we used the car once to get groceries and that was it. The apartment itself was spotless and felt very airy and spacious even for 4 of us. Views and daylighting great, just keep the blinds down to avoid overheating in the morning sun . The kitchen was well stocked and we lacked nothing. Appreciated the beach towels and we spent a great afternoon on the water in the Kayaks. Highly recommend if you need somewhere close to Auckland.
