We were pleasantly surprised by how light and spacious this studio is. The morning sun streams in the huge windows making for a lazy start to the day. Other highlights were the water pressure in the shower, the hot chocolate after a long day, comfortable bed, the helpful reception staff, the baggage storage and the fabulous Platform 8 Restaurant/Bar in the lobby. Oh and let's not forget that it is literally beside Spark Arena. There is parking around but honestly you don't need it. We took a $20 shuttle from the airport to the door and with Britomart, the central transport Depot, a short walk down the road we got to wherever we wanted to go.
