We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The location is excellent, close to three main streets (Ponsonby, Queen, K'Rd) with tons of restaurants, shopping, nightlife. The apartment itself was reasonably quiet and clean. There is a balcony but it faces an inner courtyard of the building which can get a bit loud. The apartment is as advertised but is quite small and got fairly warm with limited airflow even with the sliding doors to the balcony open. The host was excellent and responded quickly to any messages.
