Our “room” was actually a two bedroom unit with living area and kitchenette. A real plus was the washer/dryer in the bathroom. Decent location splitting the difference between the CBD and Mount Eden. Underground parking for a fee, the ramps were steep and narrow but we had a small car so not too scary.
