I found this a basic, no upmarket-frills place to stay. I would not describe it as “quiet”. From checking in at 4PM until after dark, there were the sound of voices and overhead footsteps. Though I appreciated the use of washer and dryer, they are located just outside the bedroom and apparent when others use them. Also, I was introduced to the smallest sink and “refrigerator” I’ve ever seen. I chose this rental because of proximity to New Zealand Rail Station, and that was close. I didn’t rate this place higher for cleanliness because trashcan was not emptied from previous guest. Also, I saw insects (ants) scurrying across the floor after dark.
