we stayed at David's aparment for 3 nights. if you like to be near the party zone and lots of restaurants and the harbour the apartment is perfect. on a weekend it is kinda loud at night but ok. it's nice to have big terrace with a tiny bit of a view of the water although it would be nicer without the noise of the ventilation that runs right next to the balcony. that was a bit disturbing. the aparment was clean and well equipped and had a very comfy bed and the parking spot very close to the apartment was definitely a big plus. so it is a good choice if you like the buzzing neighborhood, we just weren't so informed about Auckland coming from Germany, that we would have picked another part of the city. but the apartment itself was great. thank you.
