This apartment was everything the listing states, but probably even more beautiful in person. we stayed through the school holidays over a weekend period and had no trouble with noise, It was quiet and peaceful. central location and not far to both northlands or riccarton malls so we loved the location.
we found the apartment extremely warm, as all day sun streams in and it's nice and warm through the night with the heatpump on. we stayed in the upstairs bedrooms and they were very comfortable and warm.
yes there are a bunch of steps to climb, which is stated in the listing, but they aren't actually too bad. we parked out front in the guest parking, and took our bags up from there and then parked in the garage. the apartment is kitted out with everything you need from pots and pans to salt, cooking oil and gladwrap.
we will definitely me making this apartment one of our regular go to accommodation while in chch.
