Negative Reviews
negative:
Noise from the street
The property is located on a somewhat noisy street and multiple guests report that the traffic can be irritating as a consequence. The road is said to be busy throughout the day and evening and in the rush hours can prove to be quite disturbing for guests trying to sleep.
negative:
Considerable distance from city centre
Auckland city centre is a fair distance from the guest-house, with public transport taking more than forty minutes to arrive. Guests mention this is inconvenient if you are looking to explore the tourist attractions and shops that the central area offers and thus would not recommend staying here if you want to be close to the city centre.
