Kesley and David are intuitive hosts, they have created such a lovely space and are super efficient at communication. When Covid first appeared in 2020, I wrote a series for Metro called Pretend Cities, how to experience the world without leaving Auckland. If I had been here prior to writing I would have included this apartment in Pretend Paris. You definitely feel you are in the heart of Marais when you are inside, the little Parisian touches from the fringed lamps to the Geranium-filled Juliette Balcony. Auckland's nightlife has taken off with so much more vibrancy in The Britomart area, Commercial Bay and Wynyard Quarter, this apartment is perfectly positioned to enjoy all of it. Just as you would pack if you were staying in the heart of Marais, a pair of ear-plugs would be advisable to block out the really late hardcore revelers heading home. The car park with direct apartment lift access is a real bonus. This is an exquisite little gem of an Auckland pad in a near-perfect location.
