Pros:

The apartment was lovely and clean, there was a swimming pool and jacuzzi outside that you could use almost whenever you want. The modern hot tub in the bathroom was the extra bonus. The location was awesome, close to bars , cafes, market, waitangi lands, wharf...but the icing on the cake was Vivian our host, she welcomed us like old friends from the moment we arrived. Genuinely warm, friendly and eager to help
