Louise's place is beautiful, clean, and in a great location. She's a really thoughtful host leaving ample amounts of coffee and muesli for your stay and giving you some nice reference materials for what to do in Auckland.

Despite all of this, the stay could have been much better. The construction noise from the neighbor's home was far worse than what I expected when Louise warned me about it after booking the apartment. We were woken up before 7:30 our first day. Louise was super nice and made sure the construction didn't start until 8 on our second day. However, being on vacation, I am more of a late riser so even 8 AM is a bit of an early wake up call. It was a bummer we couldn't have more relaxed mornings at Louise's beautiful place.

I recommend the apartment for early morning risers who don't mind a wake up call and plan to be out of the apartment for the majority of the work day. I'd love to come back and visit Louise's place when the construction next door is complete.
