This apartment is in a very convenient location. We were flying from the US and it was very easy to communicate with Dayna. There is a grocery store just steps from the apartment. We are traveling with two young kids. Our only issue with the apartment is that sleeping in the front bedroom (which we did because the kids were in the back), you hear a lot of noise from people on the street during the night. If you are only two people though, this would not be a problem as you would not be able to hear the noise from the street. That said, this was a good first stop for our travels in NZ.
