Lots of positives about the apartment - spacious, GREAT location, beautiful views, washer and dryer on site, dishwasher on site. The host is responsive for anything that needs fixing (but is not especially friendly in his communications). Easy to travel on excursions as the ferries are nearby and easy to walk to most Auckland sights. Wifi is very fast.
On the less wonderful side, the instructions for check-in are not easy to follow. ALL the dishes that were stored in the cupboard were dirty and had to be washed. The apartment was not sufficiently stocked. We were staying for a week and we had no dishwasher pods, 2 towels, 1 roll of paper towels, no scissors, etc. The host was responsive in bringing some additional supplies but these were still not sufficient. It just became easier to buy what we needed. And be ready for a lot of noise late into the night on Friday/Saturday from nearby restaurants and neighbors.
