Great location in North Shore! Three minute walk to bus stops for buses in all directions. Short walk to cafes or stores or the beach. Close enough to Auckland city center to be there quickly but far enough to avoid the traffic headed north to explore the amazing beaches and scenery north of Auckland. The apartment is self-contained for total privacy. The apartment is spotless and has a very comfortable bed as well as a spacious bathroom with a great shower and heated floor tile on a timer for the chilly nights and mornings. Sue is the perfect host. She is very attentive, always checking to see if you need anything, as an example,calling, texting and emailing when the power in the neighborhood went out, offering candles and updates for when the power was expected to return. Great apartment. Wonderful host. A great place to stay!
