The location.

Wasn't clean on arrival. They knew we were staying 18 nights and yet they provided only 2 toilet paper, 2 towels etc... no cleaning option even for 18 nights and yet they are not even capable to give you 1 broom or one vacuum. 1 rubbish bin provided so you have to buy a lot of stuff from your own. Bad smell on the corridor. A table outside with chairs, so had to ask for a chair. The guy came back with 1 only, I had to ask him ton bring another one! The kettle wasn't working too... they replaced it.

Modern, slick-looking studio. Fantastic shower strength. Owner provided basics when we complained as there were none when we arrived & we appreciated the change of towels & linen each week. The “Industrial Loft” vibe of the open hot-water heater manhole in the ceiling of the bathroom was a nice touch. Owner did help when we had to add extra days but we were made to feel like he was doing us a massive favour when this is all part of the job. Reading through the bad reviews, the owner has clearly mastered the ability to sound concerned and sincere when promising to attend to past criticisms & rectify past problems. When we had to change rooms, we met the new guests in the foyer who were checking in to our previous room who were arranging to pick up the key early at the same time one of us was also in the process of dropping off the old room key & picking up the new one. They obviously had already picked up their key - the one we had just deposited- when the owner checked to see if we had returned ours, and not finding it, jumped to the conclusion we had not yet returned it, (which we had) so it’s clear they live close by & really, it’s gratifying they are able to make an effort considering the points below. Given the long list & the fact previous issues remain, I thought they lived abroad & find it difficult to get into Auckland to oversee the standards, managing the arduous trip just once or twice a year.

It’s clear from past bad reviews the toilet seat issue & other issues listed by others remain. After a long trip travelling & arrival late from the airport, it was a rude shock to not have one roll of toilet paper in the apartment. Not even one square. Just as in previous reviews, cleanliness hasn’t improved, dusty, the floor is filthy, limited kitchen utensils, no broom considering we had a month’s stay, badly scratched Teflon saucepan, no tea towels, missing fridge shelves, most of the freezer blocked by ice, dust covering the bar fridge so it’s not as if it were high & out of reach like the overhead cupboard shelves, (shorties please note, pack a stepladder- I’m not kidding, as some brainy person had placed some items up high & out of reach for the average height person), no dishwasher tabs, no dishwashing liquid, no dishcloth, badly draining bathroom basin. As said above, we changed rooms & owner did arrange us an early checkin given we were in the same building but we still had to walk to Cavendish to deposit/pick up the key-New room key wasn’t there. The realtor helped locate a spare but when we got back, our new room was still being cleaned. The young man cleaning the room did not even have a broom or mop which explains the dirty floor but spot cleaned the floor with a rag on his hands & knees. No broom or brush & pan again in the new room so luckily we had brought the broom from our previous room provided for us when we complained. Again, no dishwashing tabs, no garbage bags either. Badly stained coffee table where some of the stains easily came off with some bicarb. In this apartment the toilet seat was extremely loose so I question the owner’s sincerity in promising to attend to these issues-It’s November & a review listed the loose toilet seat issue in January. Shower still leaks. Weirdly, some of the curtains in the first studio were back-to-front with the liner facing into the room.

Handy location

No allocated parking, not clean, no cleaning equipment or products not even dishwashing liquid, one towel was dirty, no hand towel or floor towel for bathroom, oven tray was dirty, pillow case was dirty, one fork for two people, no washing machine in laundry, maintenance men three days in a row during stay.

Studio appartment and security. Couldn’t go up via lift without scanning the fob.

There was no place to dispose off garbage. The floor was dusty as I saw on my clothes when they fell on the floor on day one. The bathroom floor wasn’t clean. No instructions on how to operate the TV. No close parking. Ringwood car parking was closed at night, didn’t suit my schedule. Other site next to the real estate too far for me to walk at night.

i liked the view , good shower pressure also the peace & quiet.

i didn’t like that we got told to park our car in the parks & then get fined $56.50 to get it out & it was meant to be 8.50 parking overnight , also the fridge wasn’t clean & smelt so bad i had to keep doors open! & wifi didn’t work at all, i couldn’t even cook dinner because the oven wouldn’t work. i had to pay a cleaning fee but had to clean it up myself & take rubbish with me which is fine but not when ur paying for it to be done. also would be great to have let us know about the builders & give us directions to the other door cause we were lost for awhile.

Très proche des grands supermarché.
