If you want a cheap place to stay near Auckland Central and the airport, for just one night, this will do. However, don't expect any luxury. Michael's apartment was a nice bachelor pad, however, there were no bath towels available, only hand towels, which made drying off after a shower a little more challenging than usual. When I went to take my shower in the morning, there was a massive was of hair in the shower, like it had been pulled from the drain and then just left on the shower floor. The bed was nice and comfortable, but the pillows were like those airplane pillows, mostly air. Not as comfortable as I would have liked after spending 8 hours on the road.
