This studio was right in the middle of downtown Auckland. The waterfront was a quick walk away, Queen St. is right outside your door, and the rest of the city is within easy reach whether you are walking or taking transit. The hosts Lily and Eric left a fantastic booklet full of recommendations (do not skip Food Alley!!) and checked in almost daily to make sure we had everything we need. The washer/dryer was a GODSEND after spending 10 days in a campervan, too. If I get a chance to come back to Auckland (and I hope too, it is one of my favorite cities!) I will definitely search out one of Eric and Lily's properties again!
