The apartment is well located near the intersection of Tory and Courtenay, close to everything you could need or want to see in Te Aro and the CBD. It was quiet with the balcony doors closed, though some expected street noise with them open (you are in a city, after all). Check-in was easy and was nice to have 2 FOBs. There are 7-8 metal stairs from the elevator area to the door of the apartment (more stairs than noted in the listing) - this wasn’t an issue for us but may be for some. Some walking noise from upstairs neighbours but nothing that was disruptive. One bedroom has a window into the living space (with blinds, though some light through) and the other has a window into the stairwell/hall outside the apartment (with blackout curtains).
Basics in the kitchen - salt, pepper, oil, coffee plunger, pots and pans. We stayed almost a week and likely used the kitchen more than most and missed some things, but would be no issue for a shorter stay. Appliances all worked and were well maintained. Dryer had a tough time drying clothes but drying rack was a fine substitute. Beds soft but comfy. Wifi fast.
The unit overall is starting to show it’s age and use as a busy AirBnB with scuffs/marks on the walls, some marks on the carpet.
