Wow! Where to start??
First: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Right in the middle of the CBD, a block from the Sky Tower -- and REALLY easy access to and from the Motorways -- even at peak periods! Everything you could want within a ten minute stroll: restaurants, shopping, convenience stores, massage, and even a Countdown and a Warehouse stationary -- all within a half km!
Second: Facility -- this is a lovely one bedroom apartment on the 6th floor of a Tower right between Nelson and Hobson streets. It is a bright, modern apartment, tastefully decorated with "everything!" A living/dining area with a lovely modern oiled hardwood dining table and chairs and matching coffee tables and furnishings. A large sofa, wall mounted TV with Sky TV and Netflix. To round it off a small balcony with a table and chairs. We watched an amazing fireworks display over the harbour one evening. The apartment has heat and air-conditioning.

The kitchen is complete with a stove-top and oven, microwave and dishwasher. Well equipped with saucepans, frying pans, and all the bowls and cooking utensils one could need. Some very nice bone china plates, bowls and mugs, and enough good quality cutlery for 4 people.
The bathroom was spacious with both a shower and a large tub . . . and a washer/dryer (though it took a loooong time for a complete wash and dry cycle.) There was also an airing rack, ironing board and iron (in the bedroom closet)
The king-size bed was magnificent with a lovely cozy duvet. My wife Kat is SUPER-FUSSY about beds and this got "The Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval" from her -- high praise indeed!
Thirdly: A Bonus: As if this were not enough -- we also had access to the facility gym, lap pool and spa.
Fourthly -- underground covered reserved parking. No hunting for a spot, no going out in the rain!
Last, but perhaps most important: Communication: Monica stayed in touch and an email received a response very quickly -- although we never met in person, we feel as if we know her :-)
I do have a certain reluctance in writing this review -- we want to be able to stay here each time we come to Auckland . . . . and if too many people find out just how nice it is . . . . . it will be all booked up.
It is a GREAT place to stay in Central Auckland -- Thanks Monica -- we shall be back. Andy & Kat
