Nice clean private apartment, has everything that we need. Felt right at home, i especially appreciated the heater and indoor laundry machine and drier, private for guest. Team EJ was responsive and professional. We stayed for about a month. Would definitely consider this apt again if we ever need accommodation in this area.

I was not given a code to get the key from the lock box.I found this very stressful. The owner found it for me, she was not impressed. I booked for myself and my 2 grandchildren to stay. The couch folded down for them to sleep on. We couldn't find linen for these beds so used double sheets. When I made a cup of tea I had to wash the stains off the cups,not acceptable. The couch was so uncomfortable that the children only stayed 1 night.A nice man came to get the stove going. I have a stove like it at my home but couldn't get that one going. I think I deserve a partial refund. This is the worst air b&b I have ever experienced.
Lois W - Posted: 1/16/2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, Lois. We apologize for any confusion. The check-in guide that contains the lockbox code was sent to you 2 days before your arrival date. We sent one of our team members right away to help you with the stove. The switch on the wall was not turned on and the stove works fine after turning that switch on. The couch and the carpet were found heavily stained after your stay. With that being said, we are so sorry that we won't be able to offer a partial refund for your stay. We are hoping for your kind understanding.

My daughter and I went to Auckland for my nieces 21st. It was great location as only around the corner from my brothers place in the next street so very handy for us. Out of the hosts control is the council doing water upgrades so the street is coned off so that no one parks on the street. EJs offered us the other side of their driveway if we had a car. The room is spacious. The main bed is soft so unfortunately the daughter scored that and I slept on the sofa bed which was better for my back. But it was comfy for me. The only downside for us was a lively child upstairs running around. We are country people and have no noise as such. We just had to get used to it that’s all. Would stay there again because of its locality for us.
