Getting information on how to pick up the key was a little cloak and dagger. I recieved email instructions on the day we arrived in NZ, which was also our check-in date; if I didn't have internet access, it may have been more complicated. Picking up the key, however, was actually very easy, once we knew where to go. Our booking was supposed to have 2 twin beds in the second bedroom, but only had one queen. Luckily, there was a fold out couch in the living room, but unfortunately, no sheets. We recieved the sheets on our 3rd and final night staying there. We really enjoyed the location of the apartment, but unfortunately for us, there was major renovation work being done on the apartment below, so during the day there was alternating hammering and sawing, punctuated by periods of what I can only describe as pneumatic drilling; kind of upset the ambience. Further, as the workers had set up a tarpaulin tent on the deck outside to work in, we were kept awake most of the night (on 2 consectutive nights) by rain and wind causing the tent to flap and bang about. Nobody's fault, really, but did add to our frustrations. Ironically, the person on the fold out bed in the living room was far enough away from the noise to not be woken.
