This accommodation is a great bargain in Auckland so very close to the heart of the CBD. It's ultra-convenient being right next to the Skybus stop from the airport and only a few blocks from the Skybus Lounge to return. Downstairs next to the front door is a Starbucks with another nice coffee shop a couple doors down. On the other side of the front door is a great convenience market for food items and snacks and drinks. There are tons of restaurants so very close, as well.
Isla was a most gracious hostess, always asking if I needed anything. When I arrived later, she and her lovely friend invited me to join them for their homemade Chinese dinner. Wonderful touch.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, would highly recommend it to anyone, and I only regret I didn't have longer in Auckland.
