Vivienne's place is a great value for the money, spacious and very clean. There is free parking right in front of the unit for those who drive. The main bus stop is about 3-4 blocks away. But Uber is readily available in Auckland and for a party of 2, costs the same for a ride to SkyCity, so for a party of 3 or more Uber is more cost effective. There is no grocery store in close proximity, but there are a number of restaurants and a convenience store (but a bit pricey) in the area. One of the bedrooms was a bit noisy from the road traffic, but tolerable. The Wifi was quite fast. The beds were firm, maybe a little hard for my taste, but nevertheless fairly comfortable. The shower water pressure was good. We enjoyed our 1 week stay at Vivienne's place and would stay again.
