We stayed at Dominic's place for one night with our little 9 month old. Location is perfect if you are keen to head out into ponsonby for the night. As other travellers have mentioned, walls are thin so you can hear music from the nearby restaurants and pubs at night. The bedroom isn't fully closed off from the downstairs living room which was a little tricky for us with sound travelling up while our little guy was sleeping but if you're not travelling with a little one, it's something you wouldn't need to worry about. :)
