Isla place is great for easy access to the university area and minutes walk from the centre of the city. Plenty of coffee places and light bites locally and a short walk down to enough oriental restaurants to make you wonder what city you are in! Extra bonus the sky bus from the airport stops metres away so you don't have to lug your gear far. The bedroom space is a bit limited, especially with suitcases on the floor but, hey, what do you expect for such a central location? Adequate sitting space in the lounge area you share with Isla and a balcony to look out over the cityscape and harbour out to Rangitoto Island.
