As I have found out Auckland accommodation is expensive and you get what you pay for. There is a reason why this accommodation is about $100 - $200 a night cheaper and it may not be a choice for a long holiday stay or a special occasion as it is teeny weeny, extremely hot with the sun coming in and the level of cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. But in saying that this unit served its purpose, it's close to everything, has a great Indian restaurant next door '1947' and there is a dryer and washing machine in the unit.
