We loved this apartment. With its high ceilings and soaring iron and glass doors and windows, 338 reminded us of a New York loft, albeit one that's equipped with top of the line modern amenities. The black and white decor is simple, comfortable, and glamorous, and there aren't any pictures of the owner's cats on the book shelves! 2 of us stayed here and we each had our own bedroom and bath. The 2 bedrooms (nice and big, by the way) are separated by the living room, and therefore completely private. And unlike overpriced hotels where you can't even make a cup of tea, this apartment is fully equipped with what you need to cook meals, whether you're staying for a day (like us), a month, or full time. It also came with a nice bottle of Kiwi wine - courtesy of Jane, our accommodating host - which we enjoyed on the apartment's terrace. The rooftop pool and outdoor gym area is really impressive too. It looks over the city and Auckland harbor, and after a 20 hour flight a swim was just what we needed!
The apartment is well located in the Central Business District, and the Viaduct area is about a 10 minute walk. This is where the mega yachts moor, and it's bustling with bars and restaurants. We had breakfast at a place called Giraffe and it was delicious, even though we didn't recognize some of the Kiwi ingredients! We're going to try and stay longer next time we're in Auckland, and we'll definitely return to Apartment 338.
