We rented this place for about 5 weeks upon moving to Auckland to give ourselves some time to explore suburbs and decide on a long term apartment/house. While small and not perfectly set up for a long term stay, we found it lovely. The charm of the exposed brick and original wooden floors brings a ton of character along with nice decorations. Big Victorian windows looks out directly on the green slope of Albert Park’s west side and I spent many hours in that park enjoying nature and people watching. The neighborhood is chock full of delicious mostly Asian restaurants that stay open later than most businesses in the CBD and it is right next to the Art Gallery. The host was very helpful, responsive, and easy to work with. I would happily stay in one of her Hipstay properties again. Everything you need is within walking distance. You will get some traffic noise on weekday mornings and the occasional loud uni students headed across Albert to the bars in Central but overall it was fairly peaceful. Having Netflix come with it was a cherry on top and while we did not use the bikes they are available with a small deposit and I wish we had. Thank you, Hannah!
