As a first time visitor to Auckland, this apartment was an excellent location! Many restaurants within a walkable distance and also a couple of grocery stores. Ferry buildings close by for excursions also. Take the ferry to Devonport for dinner! Britomart is walkable too for train. Air conditioning came in handy as Auckland was having a little heat spell while we were there. Although located in a busy area, Eric and Jason’s place is far enough away from the action that there were no noise issues. Apartment is clean and nicely decorated, pretty much as is in the pictures. Comfortable bed! You won’t be disappointed with this apartment!
