O'Shea was super helpful with questions before and during our stay. Always responded and went above and beyond with all communication. On top of that, she was pleasant and expressed genuine desire for us to enjoy our monthlong stay.
The location was perfect. We purchased an AT card and used daily for bus rides. Apartment is a 45-minute downhill walk to the waterfront, and we walked down and take the bus back, which drops off less than 100 yards away from the apartment. Super easy to get around. Immediate neighborhood has independent cafes and restaurants, and Mt. Eden Village was a 15-minute walk (short bus ride) for more restaurants and cafes. And Mount Eden/Maungawhau is a 5-minute walk to the base and another 10-15 minutes up to the viewpoints, which were stunning.
Loft apt. had everything we needed for a long stay. Water is hot, pressure is good and the bed is comfy — trifecta! We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thanks for everything, O'Shea!
