Pros:
-the back yard is beautifully green, the location is relatively close to the busiest part of the city, where lots of touristy places are.
-Bridget was great with communication and response time
-check in and check out were easy
-problems and queries were always successfully addressed
-there was always enough room on the street for our car to park
Cons:
-there is a rental unit directly above this one, so it's is not as private as we would have liked
-ants, spiders, and cockroaches. In spite of having traps out, there was a pretty bad pest issue. Titirangi is very much in the bush, so that might just come with the territory.
-microwave broke (was replaced), doorknobs fell off of doors (fixed), lightbulbs died (replaced), the smoke detectors ran out of batteries (replaced), and a couple of the stoves wouldn't stay alight.
-very minimal dishes, especially for cooking. we got by on it, but it wasn't ideal
-there is a washing machine, but there is no in unit dryer
Overall a positive experience.
