We loved our stay here and found it super close to everything in the city central. The staff were all friendly and so were the other inhabitants. We did visit around the time of a nearby festival, so things got a little loud near the windows, but we both agreed it was worth it for the balcony (which we were on quite a bit). We were headed up to Auckland after our stay, but neither of us wanted to leave the little apartment or its area, so we highly highly recommend.
The kitchen was fully stocked and with a convenience store nearby, we were easily able to pick up odds and ends. The bed was huge, but a little stiff, and the gym had a great variety of stuff but got a bit stuffy without a fan in the room.
