I struggled with this rating because the apartment is in a good location (across from Sky Tower and walkable to the harbour), has a fantastic view of the bridge and Auckland skyline, and comfortable beds. Unfortunately, the apartment is tiny, particularly the bedrooms. One bedroom can’t have night tables because it’s so small and moving the bed inhibits the door from closing. Further, there was a broken, unusable dining chair, heavily stained couch (that really felt too dirty to sit) and the rest of the furniture and appliances felt cheap for the cost. Finally, washing machine opened mid-cycle, spilling water all over the bathroom floor. We had to hold it shut for the last 15 minutes of the cycle. The worst part is that these deficiencies were known by the host and not disclosed. This is an apartment in serious need of maintenance and should not be rented until it is completed. Cannot recommend.
