I just realized that I never really put up any pictures of my apartment. Well, I live in a one-bedroom apartment on Mahuhu Crescent which is the street right next to Vector Arena near downtown. It's a great location because it's only about 10-15 minute walk to my office. I am technically still in Auckland City, although some of my mail has the address of Parnell on it which is a suburb just outside the city so I must be right on the dividing line. What I like best about the location is that I'm still pretty much downtown but far enough away that it's quiet and feels more secluded. The apartments here are generally pretty small. Mine is a decent size compared to some of the shoe boxes that I saw when I was looking for apartments. It feels a bit larger also because there are two big picture windows and the ceilings are quite high (I'd say probably 10 feet). It came unfurnished so everything you see in the pictures below is mine (except the stove, refrigerator,washer). The only thing I really wish that it had is a balcony. There are a few here that do have balconies so I'll keep my eyes open for one of them to open up and potentially switch apartments. Anyway, check out some pictures below.

The Kitchen
My Bedroom
The bathroom comes right off of the bedroom which is convenient but kind of strange that when people come visit as they have to go through the bedroom to get there.

View from Vector Arena towards the city - this gives you some idea of the proximity of my apartment to downtown (see the SkyTower on the right - that is central downtown)
Virtual Tour
To give some perspective, I'm right where point A/B are. My office is located where the two orange roads form a right angle to the left of A/B.
And here is where I am in NZ on the map zoomed out a ways. So I'm right on the east coast.
