“Apartment-style living in the heart of Auckland CBD comes at a competitive price, making it an attractive option for families or extended stays. I found that the full kitchens and laundry facilities add a layer of convenience that's hard to overlook. While some may find the maintenance inconsistent, the location alone, near key attractions and transport, holds considerable appeal.”
