Wonderful Apartment in Quiet CBD Neighbourhood

Good place to stay. Especially if you need to be near the Uni. Some appliances needed fixing. Asked for an extra 30mins at checkout but needed to pay over $50 for it and check it was an unflexible 3pm with no place to leave luggage. A little graceful flexibility would have been appreciated. Besides that we liked the size of the apartment and it suited us well. We’d go back.

This apartment is in a fantastic area for accessing the CBD and Spark Arena, which is exactly what we came for. The apartment was easy to find, access and very quiet for a city stay. It was lovely to have a balcony to open up the space and let air and light in. We found the apartment to be cozy and relatively clean. Some basic maintenance is needed, but the value for money is good. Unfortunately we had an issue with the bed opposite the bathroom not being properly assembled (slats fell down multiple times) on arrival. We ended up having to fix it ourselves despite calling the hosts. It ended up being a non-issue but was an inconvenience.

Nice apartment in great location with comfortable beds, nice view, good wifi and was spotlessly clean. However, toilet not flushing so we used pots of water for one night and then contacted AirBnB for a refund and to cancel. Stefan tried to get it fixed but it needed spare parts to be obtained so wasn’t going to be fixed during our stay. AirBnB support were really helpful Milk, tea and coffee provided but the coffee is sachets of instant coffee. Bring your own plunger ground if you like coffee. There are plungers to use. Note that the swimming pool is not available for short term stays - this is noted in the small print but the unit is listed as having a pool.

Was an awesome location to stay and beds were very comfortable. Water pressure in the shower was amazing. The only thing was the requirement of getting rid of rubbish, we tried all 3 basement levels and couldn’t find the bins sorry.

The room was clean and nice, I felt it was worth the money I spent. However, I found that in the bedroom opposite the bathroom, the bed in that bedroom was not sturdy. When I lay down to sleep, I felt the mattress sinking deeply, making me uncomfortable and having trouble sleeping. Otherwise, everything was great. If I have the chance to return to Auckland, I will choose this place to stay.

Stefan's place was perfect for my wife and I to visit New Zealand during our June 2024 visit. Our son was finishing his semester abroad at Univ of Auckland, and his dorm was just across the street. Very close to campus, walking distance to Sky Tower, harbor, lots good resturants, and things to do. Stefan and the Zodiak team are very responsive to questions; and are very helpful - 5 stars for service! Check-in was straight-forward but the instructions did not mention where to find the RFID pad to open the front door to the apartment bldg - it's out of sight on the right side of the entrance. The property is a great value, spacious for the price, *but basic maintenance is needed* - window shade torn and falling; carpet is thin and has holes and stains; dishwasher door won't latch; missing ceiling light cover; kitchen chairs unstable; patio door difficult to open. Great place to stay, but only 4 stars - check first if maintaince/renovations have been done.

I and my family had a very nice stay. The place is large, quiet and squeaky clean - exactly what we needed! There were minor issues with kitchen utensils, but those were fixed in a timely manner. Just two things to note: the entry is not accessible (no ramp, only two flights of stairs), and the lockbox room might be tricky to find (there is a confusing sign on the hostel door - do not go through that door, the room you need is actually further up the street if you walk from Britomart).

We stayed here for about a month as we were finding somewhere more permanent. Check in was a smooth process and we had no real issues during the stay. The flat is quite large compared to others we saw which was helpful. The space was a bit dated and untidy (holes in carpet, stains on floor and pillows) but that’s what you get from regular rentals. We had a few communication issues through Zodiak Apartments but speaking to Stefan through Air Bnb he was very quick to respond. Good location for city centre but could be very noisy (building works / night life). All in all suited us for the stay.

We had a pleasant stay for 14 days . Only issue during checkin was that we had to take keys from some other location which was approx a km away from this building, Otherwise overall the communication was really smooth and resolution to all our issues like wifi , TV remote battery was very prompt. Apartment is at a really nice location and was definitely value for money , although it can be a bit more cleanly maintained . I would definitely recommend this place. :)

Great location, only 10 minute walk from Britomart!! We enjoyed being able to explore Britomart, the Viaduct and the sky tower. Beds were comfortable and there’s access to a gym, pool and spa if you wish to use it. Beautiful park across the road too. They also provided shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Great Wifi. Little disappointed as it says there is a smart tv but the tv definitely wasn’t smart. When I questioned it I felt quite dismissed by Stefan.. I also got locked in my bedroom and it took 2 days for anyone to come check it out. Luckily I was travelling with someone else who could open the ranch slider to the deck and I could get out of the bedroom and into the lounge that way. Overall it’s a great little apartment just needs a little love and attention. Im not a person who expects a lot but the reason I choose air bnb over a hotel is because it’s like a home away from home with a personalised experience.. The owners of this place are clearly running this for money purposes.

Apartment is in a great location but needs some TLC

Anonymous - Posted: 11/10/2020

Let me start of by saying it was a perfect location and beautiful place, check in was easy as. However there were some things that weren’t right. In the kitchen, it hadn’t been cleaned very thoroughly as there were oven trays and pans that were very filthy, only 1 out of the 4 lamps were working , no bin liners were given and only 3 toilet paper rolls provided for us for 1.5 weeks (however it did specify in the listing) but I think when you are paying a lot of money and staying a lot longer, it would of been a nice touch to have been given a few extra. The washing machine was probably one of the most confusing machines ever. But in saying this, Stefan was fantastic at communication and to his credit fixed all these issues when I told him about them which we really appreciated it. All in all, I would recommend this place as it was just really nice and Stefan was extremely accomodating. I think they need to check it thoroughly and make sure it’s all good for their next guests so they don’t have the same problems. Thanks for our stay, we did enjoy it ?
