The good: Location, sea view and good size apt
The bad: Check in was self-check in at 6 pm. Unfortunately it was done with a lock box, where more than one lock box had the same letter on it (dozens of lock boxes were in this location). Most are controlled by another larger agency, there was just one for this "Zodiak" agency and it wasn't obvious at all. It took 20 minutes to find this. After I had the key, the instructions did not indicate what door, use of a key card, etc. After calling the agency, I was told a different apartment number than what was on the reservation. So it took an hour of hauling around bags to get in the apt when this should have been 5 minutes. Not welcome after a 15 hour flight.
In the unit, the kitchen sink didn't drain, and there was a load of black mold in the bathroom. The whole unit smelled of mold.
The ugly: The second night there, the apt directly next to this one had a very loud party for 50 or so people, until 5 am. Despite several calls and messages, the management was completely useless and no help. This is despite all kinds of notices "outlawing" parties from all apts on this wharf. I'd think the management would have offered some kind of token compensation, but that never happened.
In short: I'll never use any apt from Auckland's Zodiak management again, what a mess.
