We stayed in this apartment for 10 days - we booked it as we were back from the UK to visit family and friends, whilst also needing somewhere to work remotely for a week.
Positives - location was fantastic, we could easily walk to Ponsonby/Newmarket/CDB or alternatively take quick and affordable Ubers everywhere we needed.
Negatives - overall, we thought the state of the apartment was quite poor and not particularly good value for money, especially if you wanted to use both bedrooms.
- cleanliness: this was very poor and we contacted the host company immediately to raise issues around random items left everywhere (including a used false fingernail), unclean kitchen and bathroom surfaces etc. After a bit of back and forth communication, we asked for a refund of the cleaning fee which they eventually agreed to
- furnishings: everything here is a bit worn, and as a result the apartment felt uninviting. I needed to use the desk area to work and had to sit on an office chair (no other chairs in the apartment) which had all the upholstery peeling off, the cushions on the sofa were stained, furniture in bedrooms was mismatched and impractical (huge dresser but only one bedside table and lamps with no bulbs)
- curtains/blinds: there is nothing to cover the top row of windows directly under the ceiling so if you're sleeping in the mezzanine bedroom it is fairly light all night, and there is no blind in the downstairs bedroom to cover the internal window.
For the location, it's great - but I don't think it was worth what we paid for our stay given the issues around cleanliness and state of furnishings.
