This is a ground floor apartment facing busy Maunganui Road and is right next door to a backpackers. We were disappointed upon arrival as it is definitely not the "Up market", "feel like you are in a resort" apartment described in the ad. You will most likely not enjoy the balcony shown in the pictures unless you enjoy watching traffic and the noise and fumes associated with it. We also had issues when we went to bed and discovered black hairs all over the sheets. To the hosts credit, when we called her to advise of this, she apologised and brought some new sheets for us around at 10pm at night for us. To top off the experience we were also woken in the middle of the night my some drunk screaming angry people - (assumably from the back packers next door?) right outside the bedroom window - since it's ground floor. We had booked for two nights but there was no way we could not stay another so we advised Bernadette first thing in the morning and she refunded us the base rate for the second night...we still had to pay the Air BNB fees and the cleaning. By the time you pay the base rate, cleaning and Air bnb fees, you could get your self a way better apartment down further in the heart of the mount.
