Needed a place to stay after moving back to NZ from Australia with our dog so were really grateful to Sandra for accommodating her. Sandra was very friendly and responsive from the start, no issues at all with checking in or communicating. We didn’t spend too much time in the apartment but it was a beautiful area close to Titirangi village. Our only gripes were that even though the place was clean there was a strong smell of damp and noticeable mould on the blinds which didn’t make it particularly inviting to spend time in. Being below Sandra’s own home also meant that we could hear her walking around upstairs which was a bit disturbing when we were trying to get an early night. Parking also a bit tricky if you have a big car (or more than one car) as there’s only a small strip of grass at the top of a very steep driveway to park on. It was fine for what we needed but we ended up leaving early anyway as we’d done all we needed to do in Auckland and were headed north.
