The location & overall apartment was gorgeous. The views are great! There are definitely some issues that need addressing including the inability to watch TV and have the fireplace on at the same time, lacking a few vital utensils, the gorgeous leather recliner sofas don't recline and if you have neighbour's staying in the next room, you can hear everything in your bedroom. Lovely place but let's itself down in some important things. Not sure about all the other reviews? We are seasoned travellers and this was the 7th Airbnb we stayed in during our South Island holiday and by far the most disappointing.
