Stephen's place was perfect for my 4 night stay in Auckland. First, location, location, location! Could not have been more perfectly located to explore Auckland (at least how I wanted to explore it)! Check in was a breeze as well. Wifi worked great so I could even get a little work done. The pool is absolutely fantastic and made me feel like I was staying at a 5 star resort. The room itself is small, perfect for one or two travelers though. Bathroom was much more spacious than a normal hotel room. Bed was extremely comfortable. I did hear some noise on Friday night, but it really didn't bother me, just sounded like people having a good time. Overall, this is probably one of the best values in Auckland and I would highly recommend Stephen's place.
