The place in Parnell is in a great location to explore the parnell shops and downtown Auckland. The place was absolutely clean and we would have had the chance to use the upstairs living area and coffee maker. We would definitely stay here again. Nikki did make sure we could check in earlier and also let us store our luggage even after check out. That way we could spend time in Auckland without carrying our heavy suitcases around for our flight home in the evening.
