We were in town to visit family, and finding Shane's place was an absolute fluke, considering it's only a quick 3-minute drive. Both Shane and Monique were super nice and flexible with the check-in (lockbox) as we got held up at the airport for a while. The apartment was clean, spacious and came with everything you needed. A BIG plus is the free parking in this area. We didn't even make use of the building's car park as there was so much street parking. The Internet was sometimes a bit sketchy, but overall more than fast enough for all our needs. We did find that the apartment gets quite cold at night, which might be an "Auckland in autumn" thing. There were plenty of spare covers, though, so it wasn't too bad.
