The apartment is very well stocked and comfortable for a long stay -we were there for about 3 months. The view from the living area is over bush, and Tuis are regularly seen nearby from inside - very peaceful. The location is great - downtown is a 5 minute drive or a 25 minute walk along a stream away from traffic. The owners happened to be staying in the upstairs apartment when we were there, and were very concerned that our stay was perfect, without being intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
