I thought the property was clean, beds were comfortable, it appears to have been recently painted. The hallways were painted a well lit. We rented a large 3 bedroom apartment with gorgeous views of the city. It is near to a university, walking distance to the harbor. Many food options nearby, with global variety of food. We saw many shops nearby. It is "city like" compared to the rest of new zeland which means there are more people, more cars, more of an urban feel. I felt safe walking around. There seems to be quite a nightlife. When we were leaving at 3 am to catch an early flight we saw people that looked like they were walking home from partying. I would definitely stay again due to its very central location, clean beds, clean bathroom, well stocked kitchenette, well stocked bathroom We parked off site about 1 block away not far at all even considering we all had 1-2 large suitcases!
