This a great location with nice neighbourhood restaurants easily within walking distance. Having said that, much of Auckland is very hilly (including this location) so great for a workout, not so good for those who dislike hill walking! We could walk into the city but we were not far from good bus routes when needed. The apartment is spotless and pleasantly private. It was nice to have our own outdoor space. We could self cater easily as there are excellent food stores within a short walking distance (and fortunately on the flat). All in all, we would happily return here and can highly recommend it.
