This was my second stay at Rachel's, late March-April, 2023, for 2 weeks. i chose to return because the apartment is just lovely, well appointed, nearby stores, and within walking distance to Birkenhead town.
The kitchen is well stocked, the BBQ works easily, WIFI is fast, and the area is quiet. Having no car, it was great having a nearby bus stop. Bought a bus pass for easy travel around Auckland and the islands.
The washer and dryer are apartment sized and efficient. Shower works great. Furniture is comfortable. The bed is more soft than firm. Set back from Waipa Street, the area is surprisingly quiet. Five Stars!
